Original Note:
The phrase first appeared in James Weldon Johnson's novel, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man; "He struck the attitude of a pugilist and thundered out: 'Young man, your arm's too short to box with God!'" Later James Weldon Johnson used it in his poem "The Prodigal Son". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Arms_Too_Short_to_Box_with_God
