Famous quotes containing the words lions and/or squad:

    “I am afraid if there is anything to be afraid of. A precipice cannot hurt you. Lions and tigers can. The streets of New York I consider more dangerous than the Matterhorn to a thoroughly competent and careful climber.”
    —Annie Smith Peck (1850–1935)

    “Americans think of themselves collectively as a huge rescue squad on twenty-four-hour call to any spot on the globe where dispute and conflict may erupt.”
    —Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
