I battered the cordons proverb

 I battered the cordons around me/ And cradled my wings on the breeze,/ Then soared to the uttermost reaches/ With rapture, with power, with ease!

 You have always given me more than I gave to you. You were the wings on which I soared.
  Lotte Lehmann

 I passed close to the pterodactyl swamp, and as I did so, with a dry, crisp, leathery rattle of wings, one of these great creatures--it was twenty feet at least from tip to tip--rose up from somewhere near me and soared into the air. As it passed across the face of the moon the light shone clearly through the membranous wings, and it looked like a flying skeleton against the white, tropical radiance.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

 Unlike other homeless women, a battered woman has been the victim of power and control. She believes she can make no decisions. She doesn't know what her options are. To be successful, battered women need a lot of handholding in the beginning.

 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; / Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

 The system was holding up ... the American economy kept getting battered and battered and battered and it was still standing and indeed, as of Sept. 10, it was still standing,
  Alan Greenspan

 [Folks will receive two free wings per each donated can of food, up to 12 wings. The limit on wings is simply because] we didn’t want to run out, ... We’ve got lots of chicken wings out there. You never know. Just a few people could come, or all of Bentonville could show.

 I remember the first show Riley was involved in. She was showing one of my dogs. The dog became very nervous and agitated before the competition. Riley had read in a book that if you wrapped a dog and cradled him, he'll relax. Riley took a ribbon out of her hair, wrapped the pup in it, and cradled him a little. The dog calmed down instantly.

 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

 As religion in Ireland has declined, the murder rate and the crime rate [have] soared. The marital breakdown rate has also soared, as has the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, out-of-wedlock births, suicide, drug abuse, etc.

 Concentration of power in a political machine is bad; and an Established Church is only a political machine; it was invented for that; it is nursed, cradled, preserved for that; it is an enemy to human liberty, and does no good which it could not bet
  Mark Twain

 I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.
  Mitch Hedberg

 It's easy to look at [qualifying] and think that it's a breeze . . . but it's not a breeze. Our experiences over the last four years have positioned us to be successful. Our guys know how to win in big games.

 When you said you were a battered husband, you intended that someone battered you?
