Famous quotes containing the word danger:
““Wherever there’s Kellys there’s trouble,” said Burke,

“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)
“It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
