Born often under another proverb

 Born often under another sky, placed in the middle of an always moving scene, himself driven by the irresistible torrent which draws all about him, the American has no time to tie himself to anything, he grows accustomed only to change, and ends by regarding it as the natural state of man. He feels the need of it, more he loves it; for the instability; instead of meaning disaster to him, seems to give birth only to miracles all about him.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 A natural disaster in one American city is a natural disaster in every American city, including Fresno and, for that matter, every city and small town in the San Joaquin Valley,

 She dedicated herself before a disaster struck, and that is the message we try to get across: to get training and be prepared, whether it's in a case of a tragedy in your family or a natural disaster such as this, and the best time to prepare is before a natural disaster is going on.

 ...human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but...life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

 ...human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but...life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

 The same faculty of reason, which gives mankind the great advantage and prerogative over the rest of the creation, seems to make the greatest default of human nature; and subjects it to more troubles, miseries, or at least disquiets of life, than any of its fellow creatures: it is this which furnishes us with such variety of passions, and consequently of wants and desires, that none other feels and these followed by infinite designs and endless pursuits, and improved by that restlessness of thought which is natural to most men, give him a condition of life suitable to that of his birth; so that, as he alone is born crying, he lives complaining and dies disappointed.

 One little natural disaster, a refinery fire, any type of instability in various parts of the world could push us over that edge.

 My parents always laughed that the wagons stopped just long enough to let my grandmother give birth. Pearsall was the nearest town to where he was born so his birth certificate is from there.

 This was the first time a governor ever declared a natural disaster in another state and activated to that other state. We were ready to be deployed within 24 hours of that order.

 There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.

 I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won't contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That's what gives the theater meaning: when it becomes a social act.
  Orson Welles

 Every time a value is born, existence takes on a new meaning; every time one dies, some part of that meaning passes away
  Joseph Wood Krutch

 Austere perseverance, hash and continuous... rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistible greater with time.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Today there is a very thin layer of insulation in the oil market amounting to approximately one million barrels a day, meaning that every small disruption, be it a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico or riots in Nigeria or instability in the Middle East, immediately creates a rise in prices. This situation will be with us for a long time because there is no new spare capacity. Building spare capacity requires an investment of billions of dollars to create infrastructure that may sit idle most of the time. Nobody will invest on those terms,

 I did not see any way that I could possibly give birth to someone else and also give birth to myself. Far from feeling guilty, it was the first time that I had taken responsibility for my own life.
  Gloria Steinem
