“The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence”
Samuel Johnson
“[It could be argued that the Johnstown flood of 1889 wasn't a natural disaster at all, but the inevitable consequence of humans thinking they could control nature. Whatever the cause, the day after a dam burst, unleashing 20 million tons of water on the residents of Johnstown, Pa., and its neighboring boroughs, the area looked like] a vast sea of muck and rubble and filthy water, ... The Johnstown Flood.”
David McCullough
“I don't think the Government foresaw what would happen. The inevitable consequence of this is that journalists will go to jail.”
Chris Warren
“The mode by which the inevitable comes to pass is effort.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes
“Any event, once it has occurred, can be made to appear inevitable by a competent historian.”
Lee Simonson
“Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”
Coco Chanel
“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”
Charles Horton Cooley
