Quotations for gunpowder

It is ill playing with gunpowder. [ Proverb ]

To talk in a tête-à-tête of the mysteries of love, is to play with fire on a barrel of gunpowder. [ Levis ]

Since Cupid is represented with a torch in his hand, why did they place virtue on a barrel of gunpowder? [ Levis ]

The proverb answers where the sermon fails, as a well-charged pistol will do more execution than a whole barrel of gunpowder idly exploded. [ W. G. Simms ]

Gunpowder makes all men alike tall.... Hereby at last is the Goliath powerless and the David resistless; savage animalism is nothing, inventive spiritualism is all. [ Carlyle ]

What gunpowder did for war, the printing-press has done for the mind; and the statesman is no longer clad in the steel of special education, but every reading man is his judge. [ Wendell Phillips ]

Gunpowder is the emblem of politic revenge, for it biteth first and barketh afterwards; the bullet being at the mark before the noise is heard, so that it maketh a noise not by way of warning, but of triumph. [ Fuller ]
