Distinguished Pistol Shot

Famous quotes containing the words pistol and/or shot:

“The Germans are called brutal, the Spanish cruel, the Americans superficial, and so on; but we are perfide Albion, the island of hypocrites, the people who have built up an Empire with a Bible in one hand, a pistol in the other, and financial concessions in both pockets. Is the charge true? I think it is.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“Too timid to talk back, I shot my adversary.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
