Protect

Famous quotes containing the word protect:

    Keep our Empire undismembered
    Guide our Forces by Thy Hand,
    Gallant blacks from far Jamaica,
    Honduras and Togoland;
    Protect them Lord in all their fights,
    And, even more, protect the whites.
    Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)

    You can’t protect women without handicapping them in competition with men. If you demand equality you must accept equality. Women can’t have it both ways.
    —Mary Bell-Richards. “Protective Legislation in England,” Equal Rights (October 3, 1925)

    Southerners, whose ancestors a hundred years ago knew the horrors of a homeland devastated by war, are particularly determined that war shall never come to us again. All Americans understand the basic lessons of history: that we need to be resolute and able to protect ourselves, to prevent threats and domination by others.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
