What quarrel, what harshness, what unbelief
in each other can subsist in the presence of a
great calamity, when all the artificial vesture of
our life is gone, and we are all one
with each other in primitive mortal needs?
?George Eliot
If we put the emphasis upon the right things,
if we live the life that is worth while and then
fail, we will survive all disasters, we will
out-live all misfortune. We should be so
well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing
which could ever happen could
?Orison Swett Marden
Man's extremity is God's opportunity.
?John Flavel
Perhaps catastrophe is the natural
human environment, and
even though we spend a good
deal of energy trying to get away
from it, we are programmed for
survival amid catastrophe.
?Germaine Greer
The formula for achieving a successful
relationship is simple: you should
treat all disasters as if they were
trivialities but never treat a
triviality as if it were a disaster.
?Quentin Crisp
There are two big forces at work,
external and internal. We have very
little control over external forces such as
tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, disasters,
illness and pain. What really matters is
the internal force. How do
I respond to those disasters?
?Leo Buscaglia
