Famous quotes containing the word dangerous:
“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“They ought to be gentle to their friends and dangerous to their enemies.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“An imprudent enemy is less dangerous than an imprudent friend.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
