Alarm Quotations
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock. Pablo Picasso We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties. James Madison If the markets had behaved badly, that would obviously add to people's sense of alarm... but there has been a lot of reassurance coming, particularly in the way the Brits handled all this. There seems to be no great fear that something like that is going to happen here. Brit Hume Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree. Frank A. Clark |
