Golden Gun

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or gun:

    How doth the little crocodile
    Improve his shining tale,
    And pour the waters of the Nile
    On every golden scale!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
