Cold War 1947-1953

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:

    Break, break, break,
    On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
    And I would that my tongue could utter
    The thoughts that arise in me.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The great war that broke so suddenly upon the world two years ago, and which has swept up within its flame so great a part of the civilized world, has affected us very profoundly.... With its causes and its objects we are not concerned. The obscure fountains from which its stupendous flood has burst we are not interested to search for or explore.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
