Famous quotes containing the words coat of, coat and/or arms:

    Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is good to be tired and wearied by the futile search after the true good, that we may stretch out our arms to the Redeemer.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
