Limb Quotations You've got to go out on a limb sometimes because that's where the fruit is. Will Rogers First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall.

Siobhan Davies The fishes are also employed for the same purpose on any yard, which happens to be sprung or fractured. Thus their form, application, and utility are exactly like those of the splinters applied to a broken limb in surgery. William Falconer
