Famous quotes containing the word safety:
“[As teenager], the trauma of near-misses and almost- consequences usually brings us to our senses.

Our definition of acceptable risk becomes a product of our own experience.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
“An evident principle ... is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.”
