Calamity is the test of integrity.

Necessity may well be called the mother of invention but calamity is the test of integrity.

When any calamity has been suffered, the first thing to be remembered is how much has been escaped

Calamity is virtue's opportunity.

The trees of life randomly grow but the graves of Arlington are set in rows.

These times of ours are serious and full of calamity, but all times are essentially alike. As soon as there is life there is danger.
