Cold Short

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or short:

“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)

“You shall love peace as a means to new wars—and the short peace more than the long one.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
