Abandon Quotations
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever. Thomas A. Edison The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy. Dietrich Bonhoeffer Hope never abandons you, you abandon it. George Weinberg The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon. George Washington To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love. Albert Camus |
