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)

    There is a power whose care
    Teaches thy way along that pathless coast,—
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
