Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or men:
“See, Winter comes, to rule the varied year,
Sullen, and sad, with all his rising train;
Vapours, and clouds, and storms. Be these my theme,
These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought,
And heavenly musing. Welcome, kindred glooms!
Congenial horrors, hail!”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
“Most men have always wanted as much as they could get; and possession has always blunted the fine edge of their altruism.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
