If there is not the war, you don`t get the great general; if there is not a great occasion, you don`t get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.
Theodore Roosevelt
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere man
Edgar Allan Poe
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.

I didn`t show up at the ceremony to collect any of my first three Oscars. Once I went fishing, another time there was a war on, and on another occasion, I remember, I was suddenly taken drunk.
John Ford
Fashion is a part of my work. I feel a responsibility to be presentable, to dress up if the occasion calls for it. But, really, fashion does not play that big a role in my life these days.

I would hate now [2005] to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I`d prefer not to.
Lauren Bacall
[Her explanation for bringing excess luggage to London in 1969 for her year long stint on stage as `Mame`] "I believe in dressing for the occasion. There`s a time for sweater, sneakers and Levis and a time for the full-dress jazz. As for the little touche...

I`m happy that my films were discovered by chance by foreign film festivals. That makes me realise more that there is a world outside Japan too. For me, it`s an occasion to meet many people and to experience directly the response of international audience...

Who among us but has had occasion to remark the ill-judged, however well-intentioned government of children by their teachers; and, yet more especially, by their parents?

When you`re a caregiver, you need to realize that you`ve got to take care of yourself, because, not only are you going to have to rise to the occasion and help someone else, but you have to model for the next generation.
Naomi Judd
We were really hoping to be 2-0 when we got there, but we`ll take 1-1. This is a great opportunity for us, and I hope we rise to the occasion and play them tough.

We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.
Nobuo Uematsu
We do have vandalism on occasion, but it`s not a common occurrence. But when it happens, it`s really tough. We`re dealing with objects that are very difficult to get out.
Arun Daniel
We could have given them more of a run for their money, but they`re a very strong team and could well go on to win the cup, ... I honestly believe we are closing the gap on the top teams in Europe at club and international levels, but on this occasion the...

Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
