Quotes for the Journey: Crisis The crisis of yesterday is the joke of tomorrow. H.G. Wells

I have always disliked the idea that we are being “tested” by God when something awful happens to us.  Bad things happen, and none of us are exempt from the possibility that they will come to us as well.  I have pondered a different possibility inherent in crisis that in no way changes the fact that it is a genuine disaster:  perhaps the events that devastate us carry within them seeds of spiritual “initiation” into a level of knowing we would not otherwise achieve.       -Sallirae Henderson     The first question to be answered by any individual or any social group facing a hazardous situation, is whether the crisis is to be met as a challenge to strength or as an occasion for despair.       -Harry Emerson Fosdick     The worst thing in your life may contain seeds of the best.  When you can see crisis as an opportunity, your life becomes not easier, but more satisfying.      -Joe Kogel     Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life.       -Joseph Campbell     Sooner or later comes a crisis in our affairs, and how we meet it determines our future happiness and success. Since the beginning of time, every form of life has been called upon to meet such crisis.      -Robert Collier      Every crisis offers you extra desired power.        -William M. Marston

When written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters -- one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.       -John F. Kennedy

Watch out for emergencies. They are your big chance.        -Fritz Reiner
