Attended Cold Spring

Famous quotes containing the words attended, cold and/or spring:

    The greatest dangers have their allurements, if the want of success is likely to be attended with a degree of glory. Middling dangers are horrid, when the loss of reputation is the inevitable consequence of ill success.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    A cold and searching wind drives away all contagion, and nothing can withstand it but what has a virtue in it, and accordingly, whatever we meet with in cold and bleak places, as the tops of mountains, we respect for a sort of sturdy innocence, a Puritan toughness. All things beside seem to be called in for shelter, and what stays out must be part of the original frame of the universe, and of such valor as God himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A spring of love gushed from my heart,
    And I blessed them unaware:
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
