Famous quotes containing the word safely:
“Language is the amber in which a thousand precious and subtle thoughts have been safely embedded and preserved.

—Richard Chenevix Trench (1807–1886)
“We can most safely achieve truly universal tolerance when we respect that which is characteristic in the individual and in nations, clinging, though, to the conviction that the truly meritorious is unique by belonging to all of mankind.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
