| Quote:Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Other than heaven, the only place where one's heart is completely safe from the dangers of love is hell.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I'm totally at home on the stage. That's where I live. That's where I was born. That's where I'm safe.[Michael Jackson] Quote:The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:In crises the most daring course is often safest.[Henry Kissinger] Quote:Remember when safe sex meant not getting caught?[Author Unknown] Quote:The one permanent emotion of the inferior man is fear - fear of the unknown, the complex, the inexplicable. What he wants above everything else is safety.[Henry Mencken] Quote:Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safetly be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.[Thomas Jefferson] Quote:I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.[Jack Handey] Quote:This does not mean that the enemy is to be allowed to escape. The object is to make him believe that there is a road to safety, and thus prevent his fighting with the courage of despair. After that, you may crush him.[Sun Tzu] Quote:The statesman who would attempt to direct private people in what manner they ought to employ their capitals, would not only load himeslf with a most unnecessary attention, but assume an authority which could safely be trusted to no council and senate whatever, and which would nowhere be so dangerous as in the hands of a man who had folly and presumption enough to fancy himself fit to exercise it.[Adam Smith] Quote:A free society is one where it is safe to be unpopular.[Adlai Stevenson] Quote:They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Truth is the only safe ground to stand on. [Elizabeth Cady Stanton] Quote:My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:Wildness. We're running out of it, even up in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive. [David Assael] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. [Confucius] Quote:Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure. [Helen Keller] Quote:The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
