Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or emergency:
“Imprudence gets us into more trouble than actual misdeeds do.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“War-making is one of the few activities that people are not supposed to view “realistically”; that is, with an eye to expense and practical outcome. In all-out war, expenditure is all-out, unprudent—war being defined as an emergency in which no sacrifice is excessive.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
