Famous quotes containing the word endangered:

    “Government ... thought [it] could transform the country through massive national programs, but often the programs did not work. Too often they only made things worse. In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “Man is imperfect. The reality he creates is always endangered by man.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “While learning the language in France a young man’s morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
