When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand, nor can your hand pick up anything.

Ch. 51Alex Haley
“If a fist can hold a sword, and a fist can clench a pen, but the points of both are missed, by dull, tarnished pride of men. We must open up our hands, raise our palms up high to see, the mazes of our unique selves, end with similarity.”
Dawud Wharnsby
Some men are called sagacious, merely on account of their avarice: whereas a child can clench its fist the moment it is born.
William Shenstone
I think it's a very confused culture. On the one hand, no one is better than anyone else; no one is prettier. On the other hand, everyone is completely obsessed by their looks and by how they strike the world. On the one hand, we're all equal; on the other hand, everyone's a superstar. It's all very irrational, like all ideology.
Martin Amis
The hidden hand of the market will never work without a hidden fist. McDonald's cannot flourish without McDonnell Douglas, the designer of the F-15. And the hidden fist that keeps the world safe for Silicon Valley's technologies to flourish is called the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.
Thomas L. Friedman
Not content to have the audience in the palm of his hand, he goes one further and clinches his fist.
