Famous quotes containing the words cold, war and/or present:

    These flowers, which were splendid and sprightly,
    Waking in the dawn of the morning,
    In the evening will be a pitiful frivolity,
    Sleeping in the cold night’s arms.
    Pedro, Calderón De La Barca (1600–1681)

    “... But if you shrink from being scared,
    What would you say to war if it should come?
    That’s what for reasons I should like to know
    If you can comfort me by any answer.”
    “Oh, but war’s not for children it’s for men.”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    At present I feel like a caged animal, bound up by the luxury, comfort and respectability of my position. I can’t get the training that I want without neglecting my duty.
    Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
