Golden Gun

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or gun:

“But if that Golden Age would come again,
And Charles here rule as he before did reign;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
