Safest

Famous quotes containing the word safest:

    Go chase into the house a lucky foot.
    And, O my son, be, on the one hand, good,
    And do not, on the other hand, be bad;
    For that is very much the safest plan.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Don’t tell me what delusion he entertains regarding God, or what mountebank he follows in politics, or what he springs from, or what he submits to from his wife. Simply tell me how he makes his living. It is the safest and surest of all known tests. A man who gets his board and lodging on this ball in an ignominious way is inevitably an ignominious man.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The fly that does not want to be swatted is safest if it sits on the fly-swat.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
