Famous quotes containing the word assurance:
“For WAR, consisteth not in Battle only, or the act of fighting; but in a tract of time, wherein the Will to content by Battle is sufficiently known.... So the nature of War, consisteth not in actual fighting; but in the known disposition thereto, during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is PEACE.”
—Thomas Hobbes (15791688)
“I go the way that Providence dictates with the assurance of a sleepwalker.”
—Adolf Hitler (18891945)
“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-upto accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that Ithe conscious person talking to youwill meet you in the world beyondyou being yourself a conscious personthe same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
