Four Horsemen Quotes

• The Four Horsemen whose Ride presages the end of the world are known to be Death, War, Famine, and Pestilence. But even less significant events have their own Horsemen. For example, the Four Horsemen of the Common Cold are Sniffles, Chesty, Nostril, and Lack of Tissues; the Four Horsemen whose appearance foreshadows any public holiday are Storm, Gales, Sleet, and Contra-flow.

• Lo que siento es que soy una tarea más en la agenda de Dios: El Renacimiento está previsto para después de la Edad Media. La Era de la Información está programada inmediatamente después de la Revolución Industrial. Luego la Era Posmoderna, luego Los Cuatro Jinetes del Apocalipsis. Hambruna. Ya está. La peste. Verificado. Guerra. Jaque. Muerte. Comprobado. Y entre los grandes acontecimientos, los terremotos y los maremotos, Dios me ha hecho un hueco para un cameo. Entonces, tal vez en treinta años, o tal vez el próximo año, el planificador diario de Dios me tiene terminado.

• When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed.
