Famous quotes containing the words safe and/or return:
“The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures—they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Compassion is frequently a sense of our own misfortunes, in those of other men; it is an ingenious foresight of the disasters that may fall upon us hereafter. We relieve others, that they may return the like when our occasions call for it; and the good offices we do them are, in strict speaking, so many kindnesses done to ourselves beforehand.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
