Famous quotes containing the words event and/or threat:
“Surely one of the peculiar habits of circumstances is the way they follow, in their eternal recurrence, a single course. If an event happens once in a life, it may be depended upon to repeat later its general design.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo- colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.”
