The planet's survival has ordsprog

The planet's survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.

Elias Canetti (1905-1994)

Seldom, if ever, has a war ended leaving the victors with such a sense of uncertainty and fear -- with such a realization that the future is obscure and that survival is not assured.

Edward R. Murrow (1908-1965)

The minute you step out of private conversations, it's every man for himself. Nobody is prepared to talk regionally. It's a choice between MAD - mutually assured destruction - and MAS - mutually assured survival.

Prince Hassan

They are uncertain about when they are going to be laid off, and they are equally uncertain about the future of their homes.

Bob Bevacqua

He thought of all the living species that train their young in the art of survival, the cats who teach their kittens to hunt, the birds who spend such strident efforts on teaching their fledglings to fly - yet man, whose tool of survival is the mind, does not merely fail to teach a child to think, but devotes the child's education to the purpose of destroying his brain, of convincing him that thought is futile and evil, before he has started to think ... Men would shudder, he thought, if they saw a mother bird plucking the feathers from the wings of her young, then pushing him out of the nest to struggle for survival - yet that was what they did to their children.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

We figured that would be a good chance to gamble and take a shot. Davies was throwing the ball very well at that point. The odds of trying to get a two-out hit probably weren't in our favor. We thought we'd go ahead and gamble, and it worked.

Ned Yost

A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

Lengsel

He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. It's getting to the point of survival for the human species on the planet.

Brian Lapointe

The Roosevelt enactment of Social Security was a moral revolution in our country: We were assured that we would never reach the very depths of poverty. And to be told, that we are now going to gamble it, on Wall Street, is nonsense!

Arthur Hertzberg

You can gamble on the road. You can gamble on the fly. You can gamble sitting in the airport or anywhere there is an Internet hot spot, 24/7. But gambling on the Internet is very different than going to a casino. People are less inhibited when they are at home or on their computer.

John O'Neill

It hasn't been an easy decision for Thomas, but I respect it because I know it's well thought through, ... Thomas has always delivered a solid effort for the team, at the same time as he's won some races on his own. I hope he's learnt something valuable to take with him in his future ventures. On behalf of the team I would also like to wish him the best of luck for the future.

Bjarne Riis

We shouldn't fuel the future with the polluting methods of the past, ... We have the technology to power our future in ways that don't threaten our health or poison our planet. Let's choose to use it.

Denis Hayes

I never thought it was a gamble. I thought it was unbelievable that here was a 15-year-old kid with those skills and that level of maturity. It was a great find.

Bobby Petrino

For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

Freedom

We dodged two or three bullets last night coming down the stretch with a gamble here or a gamble there or someone didn't box out, yet we got the rebound, ... We've been dodging bullets for three games and it finally caught up to us. We had a lead. We didn't need to gamble. You have to play good, solid defense.
