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 (18941963)
“Whether your child is 3 or 13, dont rush in to rescue him until you know hes done all he can to rescue himself.”
—Barbara F. Meltz (20th century)
