He who cannot put his thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of dispute. ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits

Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
― Robert Frost
In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Patience is to wait for the ice to melt instead of breaking it. ― Munia Khan
Swiftly growing anger
Dies rapidly
As the ice melts when the fire
Comes close to it.
― Ujjal Mandal
Always give them the old fire, even when you feel like a squashed cake of ice. – Ethel Merman
Have a dream, chase it down, jump over every single hurdle, and run through fire and ice to get there. – Whitney Wolfe Herd
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. – Albert Schweitzer

“Frost on Sedum” is my favorite…almost looks like the old-fashioned termed ‘hoarfrost’…spikyness and all!
Ethal Merman’s quote is the consummate performer’s quote!
