Famous quotes containing the words hot and/or deserts:
“There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (1754–1812)
