Quotes about Safety


He who tenders doubtful safety to those in trouble refuses it. [Lat., Dubiam salutem qui dat adflictis negat.]

Seneca (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

Whatever may be the issue we shall share one common danger, one safety. [Lat., Quo res cunque cadant, unum et commune periculum, Una salus ambobus erit.]

Virgil or Vergil (Publius Virgilius Maro Vergil)

There is always safety in valor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hans Christian Archilochus

Our common Father and Deliverer, to whose prudence, wisdom and valour we owe our Peace, Liberty and Safety, now leads and directs in the great councils of the nation . . . and now we celebrate an independent Government--an original Constitution! an independent Legislature, at the head of which we this day celebrate, The Father of his Country--We celebrate Washington! We celebrate an independent Empire!

Unattributed Author

It cannot be repeated too often that the safety of great wealth with us lies in obedience to the new version of the Old World axiom--Richesse oblige.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
