Mario PuzoAccidents don't happen to people who take accidents as a personal insult.
About This Quote
An accident is a natural occurrence. It happens as the result of some external force acting upon an object controlled by another person. Therefore, when you are involved in an accident, you are not responsible. It was not your fault.
The person who took it upon himself to be responsible for your well-being was not good enough to be trusted with the task. If someone else is at fault, he will probably have to apologize to you.
