Divert Quotations
While grief is fresh, every attempt to divert only irritates. You must wait till it be digested, and then amusement will dissipate the remains of it. Samuel Johnson Do not let spacious plans for a new world divert your energies from saving what is left of the old. Winston Churchill Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates. Samuel Johnson No state, furthermore, unless it has aggressive military designs such as those which consumed Nazi leaders in the thirties, is likely to divert to defense any more of its resources and wealth and energy than seems necessary. Lester B. Pearson But the central point is that any campaign against Iraq, whatever the strategy, cost and risks, is certain to divert us for some indefinite period from our war on terrorism. Brent Scowcroft |
