An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent.

We should keep silent about those in power; to speak well of them almost implies flattery; to speak ill of them while they are alive is dangerous, and when they are dead is cowardly.
Jean de La Bruyere
All I insist on, and nothing else, is that you should show the whole world that you are not afraid. Be silent, if you choose; but when it is necessary, speak — and speak in such a way that people will remember it.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
If you tell an Indian that such things are absurd and impossible, he is apt to answer, "It may be so with the white man, but how do you know it to be impossible with the Indian? You tell us many strange things which happened to your fathers — we don't contradict them, though we believe such things never could have happened to the red man."
Josiah Gregg
The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.
Agatha Christie
How much the greatest event it is that ever happened in the world! and how much the best!
