Trailing Arms

Famous quotes containing the words trailing and/or arms:

    As I came home through the woods with my string of fish, trailing my pole, it being now quite dark, I caught a glimpse of a woodchuck stealing across my path, and felt a strange thrill of savage delight, and was strongly tempted to seize and devour him raw; not that I was hungry then, except for that wildness which he represented.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victor’s] laurel yield to the [orator’s] tongue.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
