Famous quotes containing the words tone and/or arm:
“It makes me hate accepting things that are probable when they are held up before me as infallibly true. I prefer these words which tone down and modify the hastiness of our propositions: “Perhaps, In some sort, Some, They say, I think,” and the like.”

“O God, thy arm was here,
And not to us, but to thy arm alone
Ascribe we all.”
