“Use makes a better soldier than the most urgent considerations of duty,--familiarity with danger enabling him to estimate the danger. He sees how much is the risk, and is not afflicted with imagination; knows practically Marshal Saxe's rule, that every soldier killed costs the enemy his weight in lead.” KnowsWarUseImaginationEnemyRiskDangerDutyCostWeightSoldierConsiderationUrgentFamiliarityEnabling Book:The Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Society and solitude Source: The Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Society and solitude
“All other passions build upon or flow from your passion for Jesus. A passion for souls grows out of a passion for Christ. A passion for missions builds upon a passion for Christ. The most crucial danger to a Christian, whatever his role, is to lack a passion of Christ. The most direct route to personal renewal and new effectiveness is a new all-consuming passion for Jesus. Lord, give us this passion, whatever the cost!” GivingSoulChristianPassionJesusGrowsChristLordRolesDangerCostFlowDirectMissionsCrucialRoutesRenewalEffectivenessConsumingPassion Of The Christ Author:Wesley L Duewel
“It's a moral imperative, it's an economic imperative, and it is a security imperative. For we've seen how spikes in food prices can plunge millions into poverty, which, in turn, can spark riots that cost lives, and can lead to instability. And this danger will only grow if a surging global population isn't matched by surging food production. So reducing malnutrition and hunger around the world advances international peace and security - and that includes the national security of the United States.” IfsWorldStatesTurnsGrowsUnitedMoralPovertyMillionsUnited StatesEconomicSecurityDangerCostInternationalHungerPopulationProductionsAround The WorldSparksNational SecurityImperativesReducingRiotPlungeInstabilityMatchedMalnutritionInternational PeacePeace And SecurityFood Production Author:Barack Obama
“The road toward equality of freedom is not easy, and great cost and danger march alongside us.

“Highly graduate taxation realizes most completely the supreme danger of democracy, creating a state of things in which one class imposes on another burdens which it is not asked to share, and impels the State into vast schemes of extravagance, under the belief that the whole costs will be thrown upon others.” StatesWholeBeliefRealizingClassDemocracyShareDangerCostCreatingBurdenSupremeThrownGraduatesSchemesTaxationExtravagance Author:William Edward Hartpole Lecky
“I don't think that the administration is being particularly honest with the American people about what this is going to cost in life and in dollars, what the dangers are, retaliatory strikes, once it happens.

“If parents are aiming at choosing children who will be good athletes, or great musicians, or who will get into Ivy League schools, or who will be tall enough to make the basketball team, then there is a danger that the life of the child will bear the burden of that expectation; and the risk of disappointment and the cost of disappointment will be even higher than they are now, and even now they can be considerable.” IfsChildrenEnoughSchoolParentRiskTeamDangerBearsHigherCostBasketballMusicianExpectationsAthleteDisappointmentBurdenBe GoodLeagueTallGreat MusicIvyBasketball TeamGreat MusicianIvy LeagueGood AthleteIvy League Schools Author:Michael Sandel
