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)

    “I can understand that if you have sold arms to the ayatollah why you might not be quite as sensitive to the need to get assault weapons off our streets.”
