Quotes by Lawrence Beesley (?)

“Are we never to educate ourselves to foresee such dangers and to prevent them before they happen? All the evidence of history shows that laws unknown and unsuspected are being discovered day by day: as this knowledge accumulates for the use of man, is it not certain that the ability to see and destroy beforehand the threat of danger will be one of the privileges the whole world will utilise?”
― Lawrence Beesley, The Loss of the S. S. Titanic: Its Story and Its Lessons
