“In 1975, the respected British medical journal Lancet reported on a study which compared the effect on cancer patients of (1) a single chemotherapy, (2) multiple chemotherapy, and (3) no treatment at all. No treatment 'proved a significantly better policy for patients' survival and for quality of remaining life.'” QualityStudyEffectsPolicySurvivalPatientCancerBritishMedicalTreatmentMultipleJournalChemotherapyCancer Patients Author:Barry Lynes
“People have to take seriously the threat coming from asteroids and what it represents. As Chelyabinsk reminded us, we have to take asteroids as a serious scientific concern, as well as a concern for protection of mankind and survival of the planet. This is not some kook policy. It's the protection of the interests of every single individual life on this planet.” PeopleWellsIndividualInterestMankindPolicyPlanetsSeriousSurvivalConcernThreatProtectionAsteroidsIndividual Life Author:Kesha Rogers
“Other ways of looking at the environmental or climate change stuff is to frame it in the context that it is simultaneously a public health issue. One out of eight premature deaths worldwide happens because of air pollution. The worst power plant in America kills 278 people a year and causes 445 heart attacks. So, when we improve air quality we improve our lives, and at the same time we improve the climate as well. We must see climate policy from this perspective and not as an abstract threat that may threaten our survival in 100 years.” PeopleHeartQualityWorstPolicyPerspectiveSurvivalThreatPlantEnvironmentalClimate ChangeAbstractPollutionPublic HealthHeart AttackAir Pollution Author:Michael Bloomberg
“Evolution is the law of policies: Darwin said it, Socrates endorsed it, Cuvier proved it and established it for all time in his paper on The Survival of the Fittest.

“You ask, What is our policy? I will say; 'It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy.' You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory-victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.” GivingHumansMayLongI CanWarHardMightAsksChangeDarkAnswersAirSeaLandCrimePolicyVictoryCostGiving UpSurvivalAimTerrorTyrannySpiteNot Giving UpOne WordMonstrousCataloguesGreat VictoryGreatest VictoryCost Of WarWar VictoryFinest Hour Author:Winston Churchill

“So - our readiness to meet and defeat this kind of possible attack is forced upon us, both as a potent preventive of actual war and to insure survival in event of attack. This alertness to danger has to be translated into specific policies and activities in the several parts of the world where our rights - our way of life - can be seriously damaged.
