Safest

Famous quotes containing the word safest:

“Can love be controlled by advice?
Will Cupid our mothers obey?
Though my heart were as frozen as ice,
At his flame ‘twould have melted away.
When he kissed me so closely he pressed,
‘Twas so sweet that I must have complied:
So I thought it both safest and best
To marry, for fear you should chide.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)

“Go chase into the house a lucky foot.
And, O my son, be, on the one hand, good,
And do not, on the other hand, be bad;
For that is very much the safest plan.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“Take Time by the forelock. It is also the safest part to take a serpent by.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
