Ruled Safe

Famous quotes containing the words ruled and/or safe:

    Here lieth the worthy warrior
    Who never bloodied sword;
    Here lieth the noble counsellor,
    Who never held his word.
    Here lieth his Excellency,
    Who ruled all the state;
    Here lieth the Earl of Leicester,
    Whom all the world did hate.
    Anonymous. 16th century.

    [U]nless a woman is held, by man, safe within the bounds of belief, she becomes inevitably a destructive force.
