Famous quotes containing the words field and/or gun:

    The little toy dog is covered with dust,
    But sturdy and stanch he stands;
    And the little toy soldier is red with rust,
    And the musket moulds in his hands.
    Time was when the little toy dog was new,
    And the soldier was passing fair;
    And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue
    Kissed them and put them there.
    —Eugene Field (1850–1895)

    War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
    Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
