“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.”

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
Capitalism is hard to reason with, but it vividly understands the fist of the working-class, and the Bolsheviks’ unforgettable honorary deed — no matter how the future may turn out, is that they for the first time in world history have shown the tormenters of humanity, an example of power that truly acts, not just talks. The fist in the face, that is the only argument capitalism understands, and Bolshevism has used the fist, hard, very hard but certainly justified.
Ture Nerman
When you clench your fist, no one can put anything in your hand, nor can your hand pick up anything.
Alex Haley
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
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry.
Take these hands
Don't make a fist.
Take this mouth
So quick to criticize
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss.Larry Mullen
