Accident Quotations
The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead. Albert Einstein Foolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death. Thomas Carlyle I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work. Plato Name the greatest of all inventors. Accident. Mark Twain A weak man is just by accident. A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident. Mohandas Gandhi |
