General Crisis

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or crisis:

“What use Milton, a silly story
Of our lost general parents,
eaters of fruit?”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
