| | Kurt Herbert Alder |  | Tradition is what you resort to when you don't have the time or the money to do it right. |
| | J. G. Ballard | | Perhaps violence, like pornography, is some kind of an evolutionary standby system, a last-resort device for throwing a wild joker into the game? |
| | Suzy Bogguss | | If you mean my revelation - it was in Big Sky, MT when I was playing a ski resort, (in the summer) and I realized there would be no talent scouts at 14,000 feet. |
| | Christopher Dawson | | Every society rests in the last resort on the recognition of common principles and common ideals, and if it makes no moral or spiritual appeal to the loyalty of its members, it must inevitably fall to pieces. |
| | Stockwell Day | | There are Americans will find it difficult to believe that the Prime Minister can simply impose candidates on ridings, and can so efficiently move individuals out of private life and into the Cabinet with virtually no resort to the electorate. |
| | Arthur Eddington | | The solution goes on famously; but just as we have got rid of all the other unknowns, behold!

| | Johnny Hart | | If you really look at humor, that's what most of it is anyway. Somebody wisecracking at somebody else. Putting them down. If you look at all the sitcoms, that's all sitcoms are today. Things never change. Sardonic, sarcastic humor is always prevalent. It's hard to do something funny without being that way. It's classier if you didn't have to resort to it, I think. |
| | Arthur Henderson | | In short, it may be said that on paper the obligations to settle international disputes peacefully are now so comprehensive and far-reaching that it is almost impossible for a state to resort to war without violating one or more solemn treaty obligations. |
