1584 - October 3, 1656

The very same British and American families who had combined to wreck the Indian textile industry in the promotion of the opium trade [...] combined to make the trade, a valuable source of revenue. In 1864 they joined forces to create causes for war and to promote the terrible War Between the States, also known as the American Civil War.

John Coleman

Sweet peas should smell. Half the point of growing sweet peas is to cut them for the house; they should fill a room with an almost painful olfactory inarticulateness. But most sweet peas smell of nothing. This does not stop them being beautiful, but they are like food with no flavour.

Monty Don

One reason I chose gunpowder is that I had the good luck in my environment to be exposed to gunpowder. The other reason is I was always looking for a visual language that goes beyond the boundary of nations, and so I found gunpowder.

Cai Guo-Qiang

The smell of gunpowder is sweeter to me than all the perfumes of Arabia.

Pope Julius II

I actually don't wear fragrance. I always feel like I smell cheap. I guess I just haven't found one that's not overpowering or too sweet. Even when I try one of the super masculine scents, I just think, 'I don't want to smell like a man.' Besides, I like my own scent.

Emily Ratajkowski

Sweet Jesus, war does terrible things to people.

Jim Broadbent

There is a peculiar burning odor in the room, like explosives. the kitchen fills with smoke and the hot, sweet, ashy smell of scorched cookies. The war has begun.

Alison Lurie

A trade war would be a disaster for the world. It's very easy to slip into a trade war.

Jack Ma

There was a wonderful atmosphere of gentle age, a smell of flowers and beeswax, sweet yet faintly sour and musty; a smell that makes you feel very tender towards the past.

Dodie Smith

Only the actions of the just, Smell sweet and blossom in their dust.

James Shirley

We're in a trade war. We've been in a trade war for decades. That's why we have the deficit.

Wilbur Ross

If I could cause world peace by taking someone out to lunch, I'd go, 'Well, war isn't that terrible.'

Gilbert Gottfried

Frenchmen are like gunpowder, each by itself smutty and contemptible, but mass them together and they are terrible indeed!

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I think it's very unlikely that we're going to see a trade war between the United States and Mexico because it's in nobody's interest to see a trade war.

James Carafano

War, at the best, is terrible, and this war of ours, in its magnitude and in its duration, is one of the most terrible.

Abraham Lincoln

When you smell our candles burning, what does it make you think of, my child?" Winterfell, she might have said. I smell snow and smoke and pine needles. I smell the stables. I smell Hodor laughing, and Jon and Robb battling in the yard, and Sansa singing about some stupid lady fair. I smell the crypts where the stone kings sit. I smell hot bread baking. I smell the godswood. I smell my wolf. I smell her fur, almost as if she were still beside me. "I don't smell anything," she said.

George R. R. Martin
