“He would have left a Greek accent slanting the wrong way, and righted up a falling man.”
A Plea for Captain John Brown (1859)
“On my expedition there was no way that you would have left a man under a rock to die. It simply would not have happened.”
As quoted in The Tribune (India) (29 May 2006) http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060529/world.htm
Context: On my expedition there was no way that you would have left a man under a rock to die. It simply would not have happened. It would have been a disaster from our point of view. There have been a number of occasions when people have been neglected and left to die and I don’t regard this as a correct philosophy. I am absolutely certain that if any member of our expedition all those years ago had been in that situation we would have made every effort.
