  • Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . .

    Gun  
    Quoted in Colin Jarman The Guinness Dictionary of Sports Quotations (1990).
  • A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

    Quoted in Colin Jarman The Guinness Dictionary of Sports Quotations (1990).
