Shot Line

Famous quotes containing the words shot and/or line:

    “O Jesse had a wife, a mourner all her life
    And the children they were brave,
    But the dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard
    He laid Jesse James in his grave.”
    —Administration in the State of Miss, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
    —Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

    The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.
