Famous quotes containing the words rifle and/or events:
“Many times man lives and dies
Betweeen his two eternities,
That of race and that of soul,
And ancient Ireland knew it all.
Whether man die in his bed
Or the rifle knocks him dead,”

“All strange and terrible events are welcome,
But comforts we despise.”
