Famous quotes containing the words safe and/or started:
“Friendship is but a name, faith is an empty name. Alas,

as soon as he believes your praises, he slips into your place.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
“I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
