What to do if you find yourself stuck with no hope of rescue: Consider yourself lucky that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your present circumstances seems more likely, consider yourself lucky that it won't be troubling you much longer.
Douglas Adams

Even if a legal boater hits and injures a manatee, we want them to feel compelled to call in authorities to rescue the animal and not flee for fear of prosecution. Now if boaters are speeding in a slow zone, well, laws are there for that.
Patti Thompson
It makes no sense at all to stop them all going in. The local rescue organizations know their way around, they know where the animals are, and they know how to get them to safety.

Jesse Chacon
As a citizen, who one day might need a rescue, I would like to see it filled.

Jinx Scogin
It's certainly changed our practice, and rescue angioplasty is the standard of care now in the UK.

My intent is going to be to rescue those neighborhoods.
Tony Domenech

All the taxpayers of the surrounding cities of Providence -- Cranston, Johnston, North Providence, Pawtucket and East Providence -- will now be subsidizing the rescue service in the city of Providence.
Paul Doughty

Ron Labrec
We're not supposed to be sitting inside the church, we're supposed to go out in the community to help our brothers and sisters. To practice what we preach. Hopefully, it energizes people to do it again, go to the Rescue Mission or have other ideas.
Derrick Roberts
We contact them if we have a special animal to be rescued. But we've always had really good luck with a really good community. That's the nice thing about a small town. We've always had someone come forward to rescue them (rabbits).

I don't think they're looking to Harry Potter to rescue this year. It's a long term issue for them, it's a launching of franchise.

Daryl Miller
Four or five people were trapped on the second and third floors, and we used ladders to rescue them.

Most search-and-rescue teams are never paid for what they do. They (the teams) are (made up of) all volunteers. Even the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) teams don't get paid unless they are on an actual mission.
Scott Shields
We haven't reached the place where the explosion occurred. First we have to do all that's necessary to rescue our personnel. Then we can investigate what caused the explosion.

This is a day for us to remember all those loved ones that were lost and everyone who suffered so much that day, ... It is a day to remember the first responders and all those who came to the rescue.

Marvin Parvez
It took a little longer because it was a recovery rather than a rescue.

Sandy Dilks
In a Sea Rescue Emergency call 082911. The operator will put you in direct contact with the nearest sea rescue control centre to where the emergency is taking place.

Sergio Robles
We were very freaked, and called search and rescue to be picked up. There was no thought of dedication to science. We saw no reason left to be here. A bear eats all your study animals? Fine. Now we'll leave.
George Divoky
We managed to rescue her two-day-old child, five-year-old child and her husband.
Malcolm Midgely
This case is about folks trying to make money off of people in a desperate situation. That's not right. You come to people's rescue when they are in a desperate situation. You don't target them as something you can make money off of.
Mark Lanier
We've got rescue teams under way, and we're trying to get some holes drilled to get air samples.
Terry Farley

Claudia Smith
It's not FEMA that's come to the rescue; it's private citizens from around the country who are helping us out.

Denys Flaherty
So far, the (rescue) operations continue. God Willing, there will be more survivors rescued.
Interior Minister

He was just totally unresponsive. I think he was pretty much gone before the rescue squad even got there. I think they did everything they could have done. The doctor at the hospital said there wasn't much they could have done, that it was a massive heart attack.
Otis Dowdy
Here it is evident that the money we are spending is supporting rescue efforts.
Tom Powers
The rescue phase of the operation is over.
Kazimierz Krzowski
A huge section of the U.S. economy is down. It's as complicated as the rescue efforts in New Orleans; it's all these different pieces. You have to get electricity restored, find out where your employees are; it's almost a mind-boggling exercise.
Barton Smith
It's a technical rescue that a lot of other departments do not want to do.
Don Hudson

Bill Pulsifer
The rescue operation is over. We don't expect anyone else to be found under the wreckage.

Juan Rebolledo
I swear that if the rescue guys would come in right now, I'd be able to recognize them. Their faces. It's something you never forget.

Nazih Zaki
[He described the efforts the Manganos and their children made to rescue patients after the nursing home flooded, getting them onto mattresses to float out through broken windows, and then into boats.] They saved 52 lives, ... And their reward . . . is an arrest warrant.
James Cobb
The number of displaced Katrina pets being brought in to our rescue center has dropped from up to 40 a day in late December to as few as five a day now, so we will be able to end trapping efforts within a week. And even though large areas are still devastated, the people of New Orleans are reclaiming their city more and more each day.
Michael Mountain
His life expectancy wasn't very long after he was taken to the Animal Rescue League.
Chris Scanlen
We have synchronized a plan for the execution of search-and-rescue operations. And I think we have a good model. It really was born of operations in Katrina. And we have learned lessons from that operation, and we are applying those to the planning we are doing today.
Robert Clark
I believe the National Urban Search and Rescue Deployment Exercise will prove very beneficial for all cities participating in the program. We, the City of Calgary are proud to host the exercise and to aid in the further development of search and rescue operations.
Andre Chabot
Can I quit now? Can I come home? ... I'm trapped now, please rescue me.
Cindy Taylor
There's no way that we could do it at this time. We had to notify the rescue groups and the vendors who had already scheduled to participate that day. However, the Pooch Parade will go on.
Amy Roberts
All I know is when my people go out, they tell me there are a lot of people awaiting rescue. I hear there are hundreds of people still on their rooftops.

Senator Clinton was out there, making sure that money that was promised to New York for medical monitoring for firefighters, for police officers and all healthcare workers ? all rescue workers and recovery workers ? was not forgotten about.

It's difficult to be the victim and not the provider. We're usually the ones coming to the rescue of others, and not the ones being rescued.
Jill Takayama
It raised close to $500 to benefit the South Orange Rescue Squad.
Michelle Sheridan
The ice broke off and they started floating out and the ice was getting smaller and smaller as it melted. We had to get rescue personnel out there.

An operation was then mounted to rescue them from a house in Basra.
John Lorimer
The candle burns not for us, but for all those whom we failed to rescue from prison, who were shot on the way to prison, who were tortured, who were kidnapped, who "disappeared". That's what the candle is for.
Peter Benenson

Shrimp boats make excellent rescue vehicles.

Christopher Nelson
Correctional officers are just like police officers on the streets of any community. But for correctional officers, everyone they work with is a convicted felon and nearly half have committed a violent offense. They never get to rescue a kitten from a tree.
Dina Tyler
We're a brotherhood, so everyone always gives you a pat on the back when something like this happens. Fortunately, having to rescue someone doesn't happen too often. There are definitely mixed emotions. You feel proud to help but at the same time, someone was injured.
Bill Newberry
We have no power yet at the park except at the office just off U.S. 190, so we cannot even open (the park) to rescue workers or for storm evacuees still seeking refuge.
Sharon Broussard
He worked at a local refinery and was on the rescue team there, ... He brought with him a lot of knowledge.

The mode everyone is in continues to be search-and-rescue.
Randy Coleman
I said, 'Hey, buddy, I came all the way from California to rescue you,'Â .
Marc Brown
Almost universally, the people we end up having to rescue are day hikers who didn't prepare well because they thought they'd be out for only a few hours.
Buck Tilton
We have so many dogs and there are so many out there who need help.... It's really hard to find pets a foster home. We have to turn them down and forward them to other rescue groups, which are full, too.
Alyssa Biondo
We're multitasking right now. Rescue, recovery, stabilization of looting, we're trying to feed the hungry.
Marlon Defillo
Local rescue teams have managed to pinpoint where the school once stood but they may be focusing on the wrong area.
Joseph Chang
Maybe it can't calm them but at least they know what the rescue crews are doing.
Rudolf Schaupp
Emergency medical crews with Cullman EMS and the County Rescue Squad have offered their services and we're coordinating with Mississippi and Louisiana to determine where they are needed most.
Kelly Allen
There's just too many of them dead. For now we're leaving the dead as they are because our main concern is to rescue survivors, if there are any.
Col. Raul Farnacio
Our case is going full-steam ahead to rescue the vote of 4.6 million Californians from Mayor Gavin Newsom's abusive power. The renegade mayor of San Francisco is openly violating California law that holds marriage is only for a man and a woman.
Richard Ackerman
What happened that day, the rescue attempts and the generosity, what they've done, that's what should be there, period, ... Not talking about atrocities or blame America.
William Doyle

Natalie Rule
We are still in the search and rescue mode.

We led them in. They had the rescue expertise but we had the knowledge of the cave.
Steve Willsey
Uncle Sam is going to ride to the rescue. That's the message to every city as a result of Katrina.
Jack Weiss
We have to divide into two parts -- one is the relief and the second is reconstruction. He said that the response of the international community in the context of rescue and relief have been commendable.
Shaukat Sultan
He is a member of the rescue squad. He wasn't doing his job ? he went over and above his job.
Police Chief Richard Meinel
She's an absolutely remarkable vet. She does a lot of rescue work on her own.
Carie Broecker
The Hollywood role of this thing is search and rescue. Logistics was just as important. They realize that.
Patrick Nichols
We can do rescue, fight fires, get out there and do any job we do on land and do it on the water.
Rob Popkin
And here's what's going to rescue us -- Donald Trump! This is the face of NBC? It's almost silly and a little embarrassing.
Ray Richmond
We want to acknowledge the good deeds of Good Samaritans -- from professional rescue workers to passersby and everyday people -- who helped save the lives of people very close to us.
Jim Donahue
North Shore Rescue felt that that was probably the location the person would be found in based on the fact that they did very good air and land searches on all the other possible (areas).

The election is not a tsunami where you need the help of an army to rescue people.
Ibrahim Lipumba
We are temporarily stopping the search to protect the rescue crews.
Arturo Bermea
As of now, I cannot say there will be a point when we say 'No more helicopters'. In some operations, we say 'No more field hospitals, no more search and rescue teams'. We are not anywhere close to that yet.
Rashid Khalikov
We arrived in rescue mode, not recovery mode.
Andrew Miller
We are aware that the immediate priority would be the rescue operation.
Chandrika Kumaratunga
We have no evidence that he is deceased right now. We are hoping for a rescue.
Neil Johnson
Besides the companionship of the animal, people who have animals have lower blood pressure, less depression and less stress. With a rescue dog you also get a good feeling because you are saving the dog and I think they are appreciative.
Lorayn Wasler
The policymakers and political leaders in Memphis and Shelby County cannot accept a business-as-usual mentality if they hope to rescue the sinking ship that is the Memphis-area business climate.

Ann Powell
[The rescue] is a tricky operation, ... a lot can go wrong, unfortunately.

Robert Prince
I'm working with one of the better search and rescue dogs.
Scott Shields
With the strength of the blaze, firefighters had no choice but to deal with the fire before we could attempt a rescue.
Paul Kincaid
We've made some inquiries. I know the animal rescue people documented a lot of what was going on.
Kris Wartelle
It's someone who's going to help us -- me and my family and other people (who are) coming along. It's a blessing that somebody came to rescue us like this here.

If they get into a bad situation, there are only two possible outcomes: the individuals will either die or they will have to pay for a very expensive rescue.
Matt Mathes
It is important to rescue the people who are working hard to come up with new ideas if we are to have any chance of confronting the big issues in our world.
Robert Quinn
We're not going to interfere with the hunt. But if a hunter loses an animal in the woods and fails to track it, then we'll attempt to rescue it. And some people are willing to get arrested.
Lynda Smith
If there are any supply disruptions, then prices will go through the roof. It used to be that Saudi Arabia could come to the rescue, but now it doesn't have much excess production to do that.
Richard Asplund
The assumption that when you go out to rescue a bunch of poor, black people, that they are going to be criminals, is racist. The only plan they ever seem to have for poor people is a jail plan.
Kevin Gray
Everything humanly possible is being done to rescue the miners.
Gordon Miller
We've been called out with search and rescue this week more than we have in so many years. And there's a reason, it's because it's so dangerous out there now.
Brendan Mcdermott
Some people got mountain sick, but not seriously. Since everybody was being watched pretty carefully by the mountain rescue folks, it stayed really stable and good. People might get sick and decide they couldn't go any further, but nobody got lost.
Lynn Buchanan
I'm eager to tell my story of rescue and captivity but I need a little time.
James Loney
You can train the dog to do that ... crawl and go out to rescue someone. The dogs are very smart but not as obedient as in they are in the movie.
Marcia Horne
My goal was to go down there and rescue a small family or two.
John Butler
The rescue work is shaping up as very difficult. It is very problematic getting into the hall.
Fritz Braun
We've had to rescue animals from fires before and needed to give them oxygen. These (masks) fit tighter around their snouts (than human masks) so they can get 100 percent oxygen.
Rod Thompson
What we have seen is degrees of rescue aid, and what I think we will continue to see is support for airlines being perhaps allowable as long as they can show they are making progress and not interrupting a process of consolidation.
Chris Tarry
We were on the ground Tuesday, the day after the hurricane hit, but we were excluded from going in by state and federal authorities for the first several days. We've received 2,000 e-mails and phone calls from people who evacuated from New Orleans, who left animals in their homes and are pleading with us to rescue them. That's just in New Orleans. It doesn't count surrounding areas.
