Danger

Famous quotes containing the word danger:

    John F. Kennedy was the victim of the hate that was a part of our country. It is a disease that occupies the minds of the few but brings danger to the many.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    To an immature nature essentially honest and humane, forewarning intimations of subtler danger from one’s kind come tardily if at all.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Another danger is imminent: A contested result. And we have no such means for its decision as ought to be provided by law. This must be attended to hereafter.... If a contest comes now it may lead to a conflict of arms. I can only try to do my duty to my countrymen in that case. I shall let no personal ambition turn me from the path of duty. Bloodshed and civil war must be averted if possible. If forced to fight, I have no fears from lack of courage or firmness.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
