Small Black Powder

Famous quotes containing the words small, black and/or powder:

    The thing is plain. All that men really understand, is confined to a very small compass; to their daily affairs and experience; to what they have an opportunity to know, and motives to study or practise. The rest is affectation and imposture.

    Malcolm X (1925–1965)

    Uncle Ben’s brass bullet-mould

    There’s naught to kill but the animated dead;
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
