Protect

Famous quotes containing the word protect:

“There had been no thievery or venality. We had all simply wandered into a situation unthinkingly, trying to protect ourselves from what we saw as a political problem.

—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1994)

“Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)

“The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic.”
