Enemy Artillery Fire

Famous quotes containing the words enemy, artillery and/or fire:

    There is no more foul or relentless enemy of man in the occult world than this dead-alive creature spewed up from the grave.
    Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Prof. Zelenn (Lionel Barrymore)

    Another success is the post-office, with its educating energy augmented by cheapness and guarded by a certain religious sentiment in mankind; so that the power of a wafer or a drop of wax or gluten to guard a letter, as it flies over sea over land and comes to its address as if a battalion of artillery brought it, I look upon as a fine meter of civilization.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Boys, when you see the enemy, fire and then run, and as I am a little lame, I will run now.
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
