Safely

Famous quotes containing the word safely:

    “A well-proportioned mind is one which shows no particular bias; one of which we may safely say that it will never cause its owner to be confined as a madman, tortured as a heretic, or crucified as a blasphemer. Also, on the other hand, that it will never cause him to be applauded as a prophet, revered as a priest, or exalted as a king. Its usual blessings are happiness and mediocrity.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Thou hast never in thy life
    Showed thy dear mother any courtesy,
    When she, poor hen, fond of no second brood,
    Has clucked thee to the wars, and safely home
    Loaden with honor.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I have safely trodden underfoot the leaves of another year.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
