Some of the most dramatic consequences of the Kosovo war are linked to the resumption of the arms race and the suicidal political and economic policies of countries like India and Pakistan where tons of money are currently being spent on atomic weaponry. This is abhorrent!
Geological facts being of an historical nature, all attempts to deduce a complete knowledge of them merely from their still, subsisting consequences, to the exclusion of unexceptionable testimony, must be deemed as absurd as that of deducing the history of ancient Rome solely from the medals or other monuments of antiquity it still exhibits, or the scattered ruins of its empire, to the exclusion of a Livy, a Sallust, or a Tacitus.
It is interesting to see how humans would act if they knew there were never any consequences for their actions because the next day they could wake up and just redo it.
The true defense against wealth is not a fear of wealth - of its fragility and of the vicious consequences that it can bring - the true defense against wealth is an indifference to money.
In history, good intentions do not always make good consequences
Religion is like our appendix, a vestigial remnant from a primitive past. Perhaps in a few millennia the god of Abraham will invoke the same curious amusement as rain and sun gods do today. Or perhaps our god will simply be shelved along with Zeus and Jupiter. Some day. But until then, we suffer the consequences of a population that believes in the absence of evidence and, more curiously, rejects an objective reality that conflicts with beliefs easily proven false.
Antonin Scalia knows that freedom of speech has consequences. And the consequences of freedom of speech are speech you don't like, that you don't want to hear, that you don't want to listen to.

Thinking is the accurate and deliberate instituting of connections between what is done and its consequences.
Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.
Climate change is a fact. Its consequences, damages and costs are already being felt around the globe.
Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everylasting benefit.
There is no salvation without accepting Joseph Smith. If Joseph Smith was verily a prophet, and if he told the truth. . . no man can reject that testimony without incurring the most dreadful consequences, for he cannot enter the kingdom of God
Resistance is feasible even for those who are not heroes by nature, and it is an obligation, I believe, for those who fear the consequences and detest the reality of the attempt to impose American hegemony.
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
I'd rather suffer the consequences of truth than of silence.
Our work is great; our time is short; the consequences of our labors are infinite.
Photography is solitary and there are lags between seeing with your eyes and seeing through the lens, and then seeing the image on your computer. . . . I often see things after the fact. This revelatory quality includes a sense of playfulness, because you're not sure what the consequences are going to be.
