National Close Protection

Famous quotes containing the words national, close and/or protection:

    Just so before we’re international,
    We’re national and act as nationals.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about him—or if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, he’s all right, and you don’t really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.
    —Anonymous Fifteen-Year-Old Boy. As quoted in Children’s Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)

    Innocence does not find near so much protection as guilt.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
