Famous quotes containing the words right to, bear and/or arms:

    What does it matter whether I am shown to be right! I am right too much!—And he who laughs best today will also laugh last.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Forsake me not thus, Adam! witness Heaven
    What love sincere and reverence in my heart
    I bear thee, and unweeting have offended,
    Unhappily deceived! Thy suppliant
    I beg, and clasp thy knees; beereave me not,
    Whereon I live, thy gentle looks, thy aid,
    Thy counsel in this uttermost distress,
    My only strength and stay: forlorn of thee,
    Whither shall I betake me, where subsist?
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    When my arms wrap you round I press
    My heart upon the loveliness
    That has long faded from the world....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
