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:

    It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people, as the superstition of Morality.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    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)

    It isn’t safe to sit in judgment upon another person’s illusion when you are not on the inside. While you are thinking it is a dream, he may be knowing it is a planet.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
