Danger Position

Famous quotes containing the words danger and/or position:

“It is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

“All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through luxury of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive. But strong natures, backwoodsmen, New Hampshire giants, Napoleons, Burkes, Broughams, Websters, Kossuths, are inevitable patriots, until their life ebbs, and their defects and gout, palsy and money, warp them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
