Famous quotes containing the word weapons:

    “When it comes to my own turn to lay my weapons down, I shall do so with thankfulness and fatigue, and whatever be my destiny afterward, I shall be glad to lie down with my fathers in honour. It is human at least, if not divine.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
