Picture Quotes When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear. —Henry Ward BeecherWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes It is not true that fate slips silently into our lives. It steps in through the door that we have opened, and we invite it to enter. No one is strong enough or cunning enough to avert by word or deed the misfortune that is rooted in the iron laws of his character and his life. —Sándor MáraiWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Mass killing has very clearly not been eliminated, nor has the 'international community' developed a response that will avert it or bring it to a quick end. —Elliott AbramsWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes If, as a culture, we don’t bear witness to grief, the burden of loss is placed entirely upon the bereaved, while the rest of us avert our eyes and wait for those in mourning to stop being sad, to let go, to move on, to cheer up. And if they don’t — if they have loved too deeply, if they do wake each morning thinking, I cannot continue to live — well, then we pathologize their pain; we call their suffering a disease. We do not help them: we tell them that they need to get help. —Cheryl StrayedWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes It's not white versus black any more, it's haves versus have-nots. Unless the black middle-classes unite to promote the interests of the black underclass, tension between them is inevitable. What we, the black middle class have to do, is think of a strategy to avert that. —Henry Louis GatesWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I abhor unjust war. I abhor injustice and bullying by the strong at the expense of the weak, whether among nations or individuals. I abhor violence and bloodshed. I believe that war should never be resorted to when, or so long as, it is honorably possible to avoid it. I respect all men and women who from high motives and with sanity and self-respect do all they can to avert war. I advocate preparation for war in order to avert war; and I should never advocate war unless it were the only alternative to dishonor. —Theodore RooseveltWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Man is better without knowledge of things to come, for what is to be will be, and man can neither avert nor hasten.

Picture Quotes The second class of evils comprises such evils as people cause to each other, when, e.g. , some of them use their strength against others. These evils are more numerous than those of the first kind... they likewise originate in ourselves, though the sufferer himself cannot avert them. —MaimonidesWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Our courage is greater to dare a visible than an imagined danger. A visible danger rouses our energies to meet or avert it; a fancied peril appalls from its presenting nothing to be resisted. Thus, a panic is, usually, a sudden going over to the enemy of our imagination. All is then lost, for we have not only to fight against that enemy, but our imagination as well. —Christian Nestell BoveeWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it? —H. G. WellsWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Lincoln's appeal to 'the better angels of our nature' failed to avert a fratricidal war. But the compassionate wisdom of Lincoln's first and second inaugurals bequeathed to the Union, cemented with blood, a moral heritage which, when drawn upon in times of stress and strife, is sure to find specific ways and means to surmount difficulties that may appear to be insurmountable —Felix FrankfurterWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes There is no doubt that the time to act is now. It is now that timely action can avert disaster. It is now that with foresight and will such action can be taken without disturbing the essence of our way of life, by adjusting behaviour, but not altering it entirely. —Tony BlairWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging the future but by the pasty. Let us not, I beseech you, deceive ourselves longer. We have done everything that could he done to avert the storm, which is now coming on. If we wish to be free we must fight, I repeat, we must fight. —Patrick HenryWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes ...though she had not had the strength to shake off the spell that bound her to him she had lost all spontaneity of feeling, and seemed to herself to be passively awaiting a fate she could not avert. —Edith WhartonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Empress of the Universe would be way too much work. I'd have to wear fancy clothes, probably including lady shoes with pointed toes, and could no longer slouch into the study in PJs and slippers. Someone would (avert!) straighten my desk. Someone would reorganize my yarn stash...in fact, they'd assign someone else to knit my socks, thus depriving me of an excuse to rest my brain while pretending to accomplish something useful. —Elizabeth MoonWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
