Safe

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:

    My safe, safe psychosis is broken.
    It was hard.
    It was made of stone.
    It covered my face like a mask.
    But it has cracked.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Making the world safe for hypocrisy.
    Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)

    Friendship is but a name, faith is an empty name. Alas,
    it is not safe to praise to a friend the object of your love;
    as soon as he believes your praises, he slips into your place.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
