And to stick our head in the sand and pretend that we are somehow safer if we do not know or to pretend we are somehow safer if we limit our options seems to me not only foolish but actually dangerous.

Mac Thornberry

Everybody has this fond association with the car from Back to the Future, but most people have never seen one. I've seen people drive off the berm trying to take pictures. It ends up being dangerous.

Ernest Cline

And I have no doubt that the American people generally believe the world is safer, and that we are safer, when we are stronger

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Jeane Kirkpatrick

Weak people always attack strong people - it's safer. It's weak people who are dangerous, who lash out uncontrollably and hurt you back. Stong people can walk away - no repercussions, you see, if you attack a stong person.

Sophie Hannah

There is nothing safer than flying - it's crashing that is dangerous.

Theo Cowan

We are safer, the region is safer, the world is safer without Saddam.

Iyad Allawi

Evil thought is a dangerous pet. It is safer to play with it from behind the iron bars of circumstance.

Jerome K. Jerome

Pipelines are by far the safest way to transport petroleum. They are safer than tankers, safer than trucks, safer than rail.

John Hoeven

You sense that he's dangerous but don't now why - and wonder if it's because he makes you feel safer than you've ever felt.

Melissa Bank

Everyone is on a fair playing field. It's safer for athletes, it's safer for the fighters - it's just a safer thing for fighters. So I think the USADA thing is good.

Chuck Liddell

Freedom is dangerous. Possibly crawling on all fours might be safer than standing upright, but we like the view better up there.

Isabel Paterson

. . . you did not seem to me over-fond of money. And this is the way in general with those who have not made it themselves, while those who have are twice as fond of it as anyone else. For just as poets are fond of their own poems, and fathers of their own children, so money-makers become devoted to money, not only because, like other people, they find it useful, but because it's their own creation.

Plato

Here's what I learned as a mayor and a governor. The way you make communities safer and the way you make police safer is through community policing. You build the bonds between the community and the police force, build bonds of understanding, and then when people feel comfortable in their communities, that gap between the police and the communities they serve narrows. And when that gap narrows, it's safer for the communities and it's safer for the police.

Tim Kaine

We live in a consumer culture, and Black Friday is like the July 4th of that culture. It might be good not to live in this culture, but it terms of what we can do to make people safer at big sales, it seems more useful to try to avoid dangerous crowd conditions.

John Seabrook

Suddenly that it was as dangerous to be in America as it was to be overseas. So that the false distinction that's made by the anti-war movement between being over there and over here was exposed for all to see as an illusion. Although a number of people, a large amount of people still share in it. In other words, when I've been in Iraq or Afghanistan, I've probably been safer because I can carry a weapon if I have to, than my wife and daughter are living in Washington.
