Danger

Famous quotes containing the word danger:

    A monarchy is like a man-of-war—bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is a danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it. It is a wet place, but it is a pretty safe one.
    Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)

    A real man wants two things: danger and play. Therefore he wants woman as the most dangerous plaything.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
    Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
