Glancing Blow

Famous quotes containing the words glancing and/or blow:

    But man crouches and blushes,
    Absconds and conceals;
    He creepeth and peepeth,
    He palters and steals;
    Infirm, melancholy,
    Jealous glancing around,
    An oaf, an accomplice,
    He poisons the ground.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    You are the brave who do not break
    In the grip of the mob when the blow comes straight
    To the shattered bone;
    Raymond R. Patterson (b. 1929)
