Safest

Famous quotes containing the word safest:

    The fly that does not want to be swatted is safest if it sits on the fly-swat.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    The safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
    —C.S. (Clive Staples)

    He was good-natured to a degree of weakness, even to tears, upon the slightest occasions. Exceedingly timorous, both personally and politically, dreading the least innovation, and keeping, with a scrupulous timidity, in the beaten track of business as having the safest bottom.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
