Bane Quotations
What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. Whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins. Elbridge Gerry Suspicion is the companion of mean souls, and the bane of all good society. Thomas Paine World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain. Elizabeth Barrett Browning I'm very impatient. I am. That's the bane of my game. I don't think about what I'm going to do-I just go hit it, I don't stop to wait and think. Costs me two shots a round. Brett Hull Study is the bane of childhood, the oil of youth, the indulgence of adulthood, and a restorative in old age. Walter Savage Landor |
