The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise high with the occasion

It is not best to swap horses while crossing the river

We live in the midst of alarms; anxiety beclouds the future; we expect some new disaster with each newspaper we read.

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.

There are truths that are not for all men, nor for all occasions

The difficulty is capturing surprise on film.
