Embrace

Famous quotes containing the word embrace:

    Let the will embrace the highest ideals freely and with infinite strength, but let action first take hold of what lies closest.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    This is a pain I mostly hide,
    but ties of blood, or seed endure,
    and even now I feel inside
    the hunger for his outstretched hand,
    a man’s embrace to take me in,
    the need for just a word of praise.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    Just as the sentence contains one idea in all its fullness, so the paragraph should embrace a distinct episode; and as sentences should follow one another in harmonious sequence, so paragraphs must fit into another like the automatic couplings of railway carriages.
    Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
