A woman is as young as her knees.
Mary Quant
Ankles are nearly always neat and good-looking, but knees are nearly always not.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
At my age, you need to verify that everything is fine. I put a lot of pressure on my body, and I feel sometimes pain in my back and in my knees, so I have to be sure that I can keep on training hard before going on.
Hermann Maier
Back then, a half-a-century ago, the situation was totally different. Economically, we were practically on our knees, and politically, we were still excluded from the community of nations. Today, in this respect, we have a totally different and much more stable basis.
Franz Beckenbauer
Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees.
Dolores Ibarruri
Bob summed it up best when he was on his knees at the end of the night saying, 'Don't trust in Guided By Voices.' You were there; was the show awful or something? I know it was sloppy, but they're not really that tight anyway, but was it embarrassing, was it sad?
Kim Deal
Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and my knees are done. Now if you ask us head-to-head who wins at golf, I'm asking for a couple of strokes.
Michael Wilbon
But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.
Erno Rubik
Certain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.
Victor Hugo
Christmas in Bethlehem. The ancient dream: a cold, clear night made brilliant by a glorious star, the smell of incense, shepherds and wise men falling to their knees in adoration of the sweet baby, the incarnation of perfect love.
Lucinda Franks
Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love.
Euripides
Every country we conquer feeds us. And these are just a few of the good things we'll have when this war is over. Slaves working for us everywhere while we sit back with a fork in our hands and a whip on our knees.
Curt Siodmak
Failures are like skinned knees, painful but superficial.
Ross Perot
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
Bede Griffiths
Have you noticed that whatever sport you're trying to learn, some earnest person is always telling you to keep your knees bent?
Dave Barry
He put a ring in the toe of a stocking. On Christmas Eve, we opened our stockings and it was there at the bottom of the toe. Then he got down on his knees and he was shaking.
Kyra Sedgwick
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
Charles Bradlaugh
I drive with my knees. Otherwise, how can I put on my lipstick and talk on my phone?
Sharon Stone
I had to do a tango with Raft and I learned to dance in ballet shoes with my knees bent.
Marie Windsor
I had to learn to dance for 'The Adjustment Bureau' and it was nearly impossible. I turned up with my knees knocking in my leotard and went home and cried my eyes out.
Emily Blunt
