Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or environment:

    The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

    Judith Malina (b. 1926)
