Climate Change in Washington

Famous quotes containing the words climate, change and/or washington:

    Then climate is a great impediment to idle persons; we often resolve to give up the care of the weather, but still we regard the clouds and the rain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And if joy were not on the earth,
    There were an end of change and birth,
    And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
    And in some gloomy barrow lie
    Folded like a frozen fly....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.
    Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
