Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or fired:
“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
