Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or mile:

    “Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
    She may entangle in that golden snare:”
    —Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    “We got our new rifled muskets this morning. They are mostly old muskets, many of them used, altered from flint-lock to percussion ... but the power of the gun was fully as great as represented. The ball at one-fourth mile passed through the largest rails; at one-half mile almost the same.... I think it an excellent arm.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
