The Guard

Famous quotes containing the word guard:

    One should never intend to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him.
    Chinese proverb.

    It is rare indeed that people give. Most people guard and keep; they suppose that it is they themselves and what they identify with themselves that they are guarding and keeping, whereas what they are actually guarding and keeping is their system of reality and what they assume themselves to be.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
