Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    A man’s social and spiritual discipline must answer to his corporeal. He must lean on a friend who has a hard breast, as he would lie on a hard bed. He must drink cold water for his only beverage. So he must not hear sweetened and colored words, but pure and refreshing truths. He must daily bathe in truth cold as spring water, not warmed by the sympathy of friends.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
