Famous quotes containing the words war, november, october, seventh, fish and/or flying:

    Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Necessity makes women very weak or very strong, and pent-up rivers are sometimes dangerous. Look to it!
    Mary Worthington, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Lily, p. 183 ( November 1856)

    Especially when the October wind
    With frosty fingers punishes my hair,
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Grovelling,
    intimate words,
    heart-stealing flattery,
    a tight embrace
    of my thinner-than-thin body,
    violent kisses all over—
    obviously,
    getting angry is worth the risk,
    but even still,
    I’m not interested.
    My lover
    is dear to my heart,
    so how could I be like that
    on purpose?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    There goes a saying, and ‘twas shrewdly said,
    Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I’m a lumberjack
    And I’m OK,
    I sleep all night
    And I work all day.
