One who in a ordsprog

One who in a crisis forgets nautical language and shouts: 'For God's sake turn left!'

You need a 1000-nautical mile runway to do it and we only have 628 nautical miles.

Grant Wharington

I think it's only in a crisis that Americans see other people. It has to be an American crisis, of course. If two countries fight that do not supply the Americans with some precious commodity, then the education of the public does not take place. But when the dictator falls, when the oil is threatened, then you turn on the television and they tell you where the country is, what the language is, how to pronounce the names of the leaders, what the religion is all about, and maybe you can cut out recipes in the newspaper of Persian dishes.

Don Delillo (1936-)

He forgets the Guru, for the sake of mere objects, but they will not come to his rescue in the end.

Guru Gobind Singh

This weeping is totally in vain, the world forgets the Lord, and weeps for the sake of Maya.

Guru Gobind Singh

When the internal crisis of the totalitarian system grows so deep that it becomes clear to everyone, and when more and more people learn to speak their own language and reject the hollow, mendacious language of the powers that be, it means that freedom is remarkably close, if not directly within reach,

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011)

For your health's sake, turn on your television and turn off your mind. Shut-out the chaotic static of the outside world.

And the brute crowd, whose envious zeal Huzzas each turn of fortune's wheel, And loudest shouts when lowest lie Exalted worth and station high

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832)

Sir Walter Scott

You're talking to someone who has gone through the Mexico crisis, the Thai crisis, the Russia crisis, the Brazil crisis and the Turkey crisis. Politics has always been an investment consideration within emerging markets.

While we were driving on the dam GPS told us to turn left. Had we done that, we would have killed ourselves. But GPS is fun. You can keep track of the roads you take. When you are in the city, it is usually very accurate. It can tell you when to turn left or right.

And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.

The afflicted are not listened to. They are like someone whose tongue has been cut out and who occasionally forgets the fact. When they move their lips no ear perceives any sound. And they themselves soon sink into impotence in the use of language, because of the certainty of not being heard.

Simone Weil (1909-1943)

Simone Weil

Bring hither by thy shouts, O lord of wealth, the suitor, bend his mind towards her; turn thou the right side of every agreeable suitor towards (her)! Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. Bring hither by thy shouts, O lord of wealth, the suitor, bend his mind towards her; turn thou the right side of every agreeable suitor towards (her)!

One forgets words as one forgets names. One's vocabulary needs constant fertilizing or it will die.

Evelyn Waugh (1903-1966)

Evelyn Waugh

And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

Robert Service (1874-1958)
