Disasters are usually a good time to re-examine what we've done so far, what mistakes we've made, and what improvements should come next.
Dan Ariely
Image
Disasters teach us humility.
Anselm of Canterbury
Image
Disasters will always come and go, leaving their victims either completely broken or steeled and seasoned and better able to face the next crop of challenges that may occur.
Nelson Mandela
Image
Disasters are funny to me. As a comedian you learn from failure, so I'm always trying to put myself in a situation that does not seem ideal for my comedy and see how it works.
Anthony Jeselnik
Image
Disasters like Oklahoma City and 9/11 were time-limited. The children who were affected psychologically could go to a place of normalcy.
Irwin Redlener
Image
Disasters have no mercy hours where they stop visiting the people for them, all hours are favourite and legitimate to visit!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
Disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, oil spills and radioactive fallout cause massive death of people, pigs, bats and birds. These disasters also impact the immune health of survivors. All harbor viruses.
Paul Stamets
Image
We have become a society that can't self-correct, that can't address its obvious problems, that can't pull out of its nosedive. And so to our list of disasters let us add this fourth entry: we have entered an age of folly that - for all our Facebooking and the twittling tweedle-dee-tweets of the twitterati - we can't wake up from.
Thomas Frank
Image
The economic disasters of socialism and communism come from assuming a blanket superiority of those who want to run a whole economy.
Thomas Sowell
Image
It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others.
Uma Thurman
Image
There are disasters that are entirely manmade, but none that are entirely natural.
Rebecca Solnit
Image
Sometimes the biggest disasters aren't noticed at all – no one's around to write horror stories.
Vernor Vinge
Image
People are actually very good at being communists in the sense that they instantly abandon capitalism, that they love these relationships of mutual aid, because the astonishing thing about disasters is that people are often weirdly joyous in them, because they've recovered a sense of agency, a sense of power, etc.
Rebecca Solnit
Image
How impossible it is for us to imagine ourselves victims of disaster. We suffer for the poor people who were thrown into the sea from their cruise ship off the coast of Tuscany, some losing their lives. Imagine a world of accelerating natural disasters, one after the other so that nobody can help anyone else.
Vivienne Westwood
Image
There is a huge responsibility on all of us to get England through. It would be one of the biggest disasters in sports history if we blew it and we must make sure it does not happen.
Rio Ferdinand
Image
There's a resistance for people to talk about things that make them feel guilty. When natural disasters happen, it's easier not to feel guilty about it.
Walter Mosley
Image
The dreamers, those who misread the actual state of affairs and act upon their emotions, are often the source of the greatest mistakes in history-the wars that are not thought out, the disasters that are not foreseen
Robert Greene
Image
Some people dote on contemplating disasters.
William Gibson
Image
The walls of books around him, dense with the past, formed a kind of insulation against the present world of disasters.
Ross Macdonald
Image
We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars as if we were villians by compulsion.
William Shakespeare
Image
The National Guard has served America as both a wartime force and the first military responders in times of domestic crisis. Hundreds of times each year, the nation's governors call upon their Guard troops to respond to fires, floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters.
Russel Honore
Image
With so much evidence of depleting natural resources, toxic waste, climate change, irreparable harm to our food chain and rapidly increasing instances of natural disasters, why do we keep perpetuating the problem? Why do we continue marching at the same alarming beat?
Yehuda Berg
Image
Broadly Americans agree that women need access to health care to prevent medical disasters and to prevent pregnancy.
Sandra Fluke
Image
History is one war after another with a bunch of murders and natural disasters in between.
