“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives.

—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The little Jesus came to town;
With ox and sheep He laid Him down;
Peace to the byre, peace to the fold,
For that they housed Him from the cold!”
—Lizette Woodworth Reese (1856–1935)
