Safe

A safe (also called strongbox, coffer or kist) is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft or damage. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal (such as steel) or formed out of plastic through blow molding. A less secure version (only suitable for petty cash) is usually called a cash-box.

Famous quotes containing the word safe:

    Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    It is not quite safe to send out a venture in this kind, unless yourself go supercargo. Where a man goes, there he is; but the slightest virtue is immovable,—it is real estate, not personal; who would keep it, must consent to be bought and sold with it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Are there memories left that are safe from the clutches of phony anniversarists?
    W.J. (William J.)
