Famous quotes containing the word shooting:
“Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting stars attend thee;”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
“Writing or printing is like shooting with a rifle; you may hit your readers mind, or miss it;Mbut talking is like playing at a mark with the pipe of an engine; if it is within reach, and you have time enough, you cant help hitting it.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (17951852)
