One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important.

A man's mind will very gradually refuse to make itself up until it is driven and compelled by emergency.

Urgent

Urgent...
To leave philosophies,
That survival is a personal need to feed.
It's urgent...
That we all now see,
Dependency on others we must all heed.
Yes it's urgent...
That a greed and gluttony be released.
So urgent...
Is the writing on the wall,
No one must ignore at all!

I tended to faint when I saw accident victims in the emergency ward, during surgery, or while drawing blood.

Faith

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

My ideas have undergone a process of emergence by emergency. When they are needed badly enough, they are accepted.

Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it's a challenge to the moral imagination.

Emergency

I've often dreamt of a conversation
that just keeps coming up again and again.
We're sitting in the Baby Bar bereft
at a shadowy table out past the sentences end.
From until it's no longer fun
'til that's no longer relevant.
From until we're no longer one
'til the bona-fide embodiment of an endless
emergency without end.
We're an endless emergency without end

We often stop in these conversations

Felicity Of Danger

Felicity creates happiness and easy circumstances,
Beautifying us when applied, signalling an innovation.
My ecstasy is an elation of some kind, after all,
Sighing additionally, so much above a big lion that roars.
Feral and menacing is this emergency of a ghoul,
The lion creates an exigency so greater than happiness.
Hollering with pride, the apes of clamour claim noise
To do with emergency and fierce activity.
Felicity is the opposite of danger, the animals,
Those creatures or minions describe their skin and fur
As that of hell and heaven, the after-lives.
