Famous quotes containing the words automatic and/or rifle:

    She smoothes her hair with automatic hand,
    And puts a record on the gramophone.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Truth is his inspirer, and earnestness the polisher of his sentences. He could afford to lose his Sharp’s rifles, while he retained his faculty of speech,—a Sharp’s rifle of infinitely surer and longer range.
