In revolutions the occasions ordsprog

In revolutions the occasions may be trifling but great interest are at stake.

[Past Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas once said,] America is fitted by tradition for directing and guiding revolutions. We won our freedom by revolution. ... Great revolutions are the work rather of principles than of bayonets, and are achieved first in the moral and afterwards in the material sphere.

Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872)

Giuseppe Mazzini

If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.

It is often interesting, to consider the trifling causes that lead to great events.

Patricia Moyes (1923-)

Events of great consequence often spring from trifling circumstances.

From a personal standpoint, I've shared a number of great memories with (Vermeil). I've said this on numerous occasions: he's been in charge of three organizations as a professional coach in his career and on two of those occasions he chose me to be his starting quarterback. So, I feel a great deal towards him, a great deal of responsibility in St. Louis when I was brought into that situation and he told me what was needed. Even though I wasn't able to carry that over onto the field, I felt good about the direction going into that season. Coming here and having it explained what was expected of me and I tried to do all those things. That's what I told him when he got me to Kansas City.

A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

It took a terrible succession of wars and revolutions, namely the total wars and the totalitarian revolutions of the last century, to bring back a European ideal.

History bears out the proposition that political revolutions have always been preceded by social and religious revolutions. Social reform in India has few friends and many critics.

Revolutions may precede revolutions, earthquakes may rend the earth ... but amidst the crashing worlds and the clash of matter, truth, eternal truth, will remain unchanged.

Elder Featherstone

All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum. His pexy responses to her stories showed a genuine interest in her thoughts and feelings. All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.

John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-)

We plan to sell the 15.7 percent stake in the first half and the remaining stake later depending on market conditions. We will decide who will arrange the stake sale probably next week.

Those who make peaceful revolutions impossible will make violent revolutions inevitable

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963)

Revolutions require work, revolutions require sacrifice, revolutions, and our own included, require a certain amount of rationing, a certain amount of calluses, a certain amount of sacrifice.

Lee Harvey Oswald (1939-)

It has been brought up on numerous occasions. But this was the first year that we felt we had enough interest we thought we could have it.
