Quick Firing Guns

Famous quotes containing the words quick, firing and/or guns:

    A quick caress she gives the rose,
    Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
    Oh, if she might have seen a reason
    For powdering her nose!
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Slowly, and in spite of anything we Americans do or do not do, it looks a little as if you and some other good people are going to have to answer the old question of whether you want to keep your country unshackled by taking even more definite steps to do so—even firing shots—or, on the other hand, submitting to be shackled for the sake of not losing one American life.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    With drums and guns, and guns and drums
    The enemy nearly slew ye,
    My darling dear, you look so queer,
    Och, Johnny, I hardly knew ye!
    Unknown. Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye (l. Chorus.)
