Famous quotes containing the word arms:
“Vengeance upon the murderers, the cry goes up,
Vengeance for Jacques Molay. In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
For the embrace of nothing....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“The use of arms is ownership
Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
Victory that is not hinted at in Das Kapital.
I think there is never but one true war
So let us as you desire perfect our trade.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“A fortified town is like a man cased in the heavy armor of antiquity, with a horse-load of broadswords and small arms slung to him, endeavoring to go about his business.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
