Assault Weapon Ban

Famous quotes containing the words assault, weapon and/or ban:

    “This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “What is the imagination? Only an arm or weapon of the interior energy; only the precursor of the reason.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “So in peace our tasks we ply,
    Pangur Ban, my cat, and I;
    In our arts we find our bliss,
    I have mine and he has his.”
    —Unknown. Pangur Ban (l. 25–28)
