Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or atoms:
“Peter is poor, said noble Paul,
And I have always been his friend:
And, though my means to give are small,
At least I can afford to lend.
How few, in this cold age of greed,
Do good, except on selfish grounds!
But I can feel for Peters need,
And I WILL LEND HIM FIFTY POUNDS!”
