Famous quotes containing the words avalanche and/or rescue:

    The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    Whether your child is 3 or 13, don’t rush in to rescue him until you know he’s done all he can to rescue himself.
    Barbara F. Meltz (20th century)
