My doorman is more important to me than any head of any company. He keeps us safe.
Kanye WestThe serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.
ChanakyaEven though the risks of death are higher driving than flying, many people would rather drive simply because they feel they have more control driving. The facts are that only a few hundred people die a year flying, and 44,000 are killed a year driving.
Robert KiyosakiHe that’s secure is not safe.
Benjamin FranklinI have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.
Amelia EarhartWe will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.

Anthony BourdainThe safety of the people shall be the highest law.
Marcus Tullius CiceroAvoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen KellerThe 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.
H. L. MenckenEven a paranoid can have enemies.
Henry KissingerI live on a one-way street that’s also a dead end. I’m not sure how I got there.
Steven WrightNever invoke the gods unless you really want them to appear. It annoys them very much.
Gilbert K. ChestertonWe must do everything in our power to cease the behaviour that makes children everywhere feel afraid.
Alice WalkerStood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
Christopher Columbus3D is a way of organizing things, particularly as we’re getting much more media information on the computer, a lot more choices, a lot more navigation than we’ve ever had before.
Bill GatesThe true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts.
Edmund BurkeClothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It’s a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
Karl LagerfeldWe sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
George OrwellI found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues.
Christopher ColumbusTruth is a good dog; but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis BaconDo not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
J. R. R. TolkienWe could definitely make a flying car – but that’s not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that’s super safe and quiet? Because if it’s a howler, you’re going to make people very unhappy.
Elon MuskThe whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
H. L. MenckenThe coward only threatens when he is safe.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheA wet spot on the floor kind of put a scare in myself, so you never know inside those lines what might happen.
Stephen CurryI have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head – big darkness, soon come – but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.
Hunter S. ThompsonAmerican stuntmen are smart – they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance… But in Hong Kong, we don’t know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you’ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.
Jackie ChanIt is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.
William Makepeace ThackerayCameras aren’t guns. They can’t really hurt you.
Matthew McConaugheyLightning is something which, again, we would rather avoid.
Richard BransonBeware the tyranny of the weak. They just suck you dry.
Anthony HopkinsWhen you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.
Franklin D. RooseveltAny man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
Albert EinsteinWe are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.
James MadisonKindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.
King SolomonOf all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness.
Bertrand RussellAs soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe 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 RooseveltWhich painting in the National Gallery would I save if there was a fire? The one nearest the door of course.
George Bernard ShawIt’s going to be a season with lots of accidents, and I’ll risk saying that we’ll be lucky if something really serious doesn’t happen.
Ayrton SennaIf you are in the country, you should notice landmarks – that is, objects which help you to find your way or prevent you getting lost, such as distant hills, church towers, and nearer objects, such as peculiar buildings, trees, gates, rocks, etc.
Robert Baden-PowellThe truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and must therefore be treated with great caution.
J. K. RowlingIt is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.
Henry David ThoreauBeing a stunt coordinator, I have to take care not only of myself but I have to make sure everyone is safe.
Jackie ChanMany people have been getting too casual about climbing Everest. I forecast a disaster many times.
Edmund HillaryFirst, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?
Barack ObamaThey who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin FranklinNever trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
J. K. RowlingIn the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Dwight D. EisenhowerTrust, but verify.
Ronald ReaganIf I can give you one strong piece of advice, when you go away for that romantic weekend, whatever you do, do not accept or take the upgrade to the honeymoon suite.
Gordon RamsayIf you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius.
Joseph AddisonThe purpose is clear. It is safety with solvency. The country is entitled to both.
Dwight D. EisenhowerDo I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I’m riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I’m riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park – no, I don’t wear the dreaded helmet then.
David ByrneMy family wasn’t rich, so when it comes to money, I tend to think, ‚Err on the side of caution.‘
Robert KiyosakiWhen I’m surfing, I’m sure not thinking about the paparazzi. I guess if they start getting on floaties and coming out there in the water, then I might be a little upset.
Matthew McConaugheyA safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.
J. R. R. TolkienIn a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.
Jim Mattis
