Quotes:
• Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. — Thomas Jefferson (1742-1826) 3rd President of the Unites States
• One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat. — Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) 28th President of the United States
• Good words cool more than cold water. — John Ray (1627–1705) English naturalist
Comment: What is cool may be good or bad, but if it’s popular then it’s acceptable. The desire to fit in can override better judgment if the individual is immature.
