Emergency Power

Famous quotes containing the words emergency and/or power:

    “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)

    “Rocked in the cradle of the deep
    I lay me down in peace to sleep;
    Secure I rest upon the wave,
    For Thou, O Lord! hast power to save.”
    —Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
