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)

    A strange thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
    Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
    Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
    It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A fortified town is like a man cased in the heavy armor of antiquity, with a horse-load of broadswords and small arms slung to him, endeavoring to go about his business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
