The wound of peace is surety, Surety secure.

William Shakespeare

Modest doubt is called the beacon of the wise.

William Shakespeare

Charles Spurgeon

Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears: Before the throne my surety stands, Before the throne my surety stands, my name is written on His hands.

Charles Wesley

Plato

One honor won is a surety for more.

He that will be surety, shall pay.

George Herbert

An island of surety in a changing world.

Bill Veeck

The business conduct of the disciples of wise men is truthful and faithful.... He does not allow himself to be made a surety or a guarantor and does not accept the power of attorney.... He lends money and is gracious. He shall not take away business from his fellow man.
