Alarm Event

Famous quotes containing the words alarm and/or event:

“Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficient accuracy.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear,
Because conferred by Thee.”
