Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “And to your more bewitching, see the proud,
    Plump bed bear up, and swelling like a cloud,
    Tempting the two too modest; can
    Ye see it brustle like a swan,
    And you be cold
    To meet it when it woos and seems to fold
    The arms to hug you? Throw, throw
    Yourselves into the mighty overflow
    Of that white pride, and drown
    The night with you in floods of down.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    “So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
