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

    For, brother, know that this is art, and you
    With a cold incautious sorrow stricken dumb,
    Have your own vanishing slit of light let through,
    Passionate as winter, where only a few may come:
    Not idiots in the street find out the lees
    In the last drink of dying Socrates.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The dead have been awakened—shall I sleep?
    The world’s at war with tyrants—shall I crouch?
    The harvest’s ripe—and shall I pause to reap?
    I slumber not; the thorn is in my couch;
    Each day a trumpet soundeth in mine ear,
    Its echo in my heart.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Ambition is an uncomfortable companion many times. He creates a discontent with present surroundings and achievements; he is never satisfied but always pressing forward to better things in the future. Restless, energetic, purposeful, it is ambition that makes of the creature a real man.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
