Bear Arms

Famous quotes containing the words bear and/or arms:

    “The night discharged of all care
    Where wine may bear no sovereignty;
    The chaste wife wise, without debate;
    Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
    Contented with thine own estate;
    Neither wish death, nor fear his might.”
    —Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialus)

    “If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
    One cordial in this melancholy vale,
    ‘T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
    In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)
