Safety Quotations | Page 4

I am someone who's very positive about business, as a social Democrat. I do like the safety net of the welfare system and people setting things and creating business, and that's what I try to do with my own work: export it around the world from the U.K.

With a nation, as with a boxer, one of the greatest assurances of safety is to add reach to power.

I'm probably going to be the scruffiest Chief Scout you've ever had and my health and safety policy is non-existent.

[Speaking] is never without fear; of visibility, of the harsh light of scrutiny and perhaps judgment, of pain, of death. But we have lived through all of those already, in silence, except death. And I remind myself all the time now, that if I were to have been born mute, and had maintained an oath of silence my whole life for safety, I would still have suffered, and I would still die.

One nice thing about being a woman in Hollywood is that the women tend to be very close-knit. All of us writers and directors know each other and cling to each other for safety and support, and it's really a completely different vibe than the men experience out here, where they're all trying to murder each other.

There are so many people afraid of a task. They get so overwhelmed by the obstacles in front of them that they shy away from reaching beyond a position of safety.

The Typical American? He is sent to school Little or much, where he imbibes the rule Of safety first and comfort; in his youth He joins the church and ends the quest of truth.

With respect to their safety, derivatives, for the most part, are traded among very sophisticated financial institutions and individuals who have considerable incentive to understand them and to use them properly.

No country can allow its safety to be wholly dependent on faithful observance by other states of rules to which they are obliged.

The crossing of space ... may do much to turn men's minds outwards and away from their present tribal squabbles. In this sense, the rocket, far from being one of the destroyers of civilisation, may provide the safety-value that is needed to preserve it.

When I move from being a cameraman to being a director I looked at a lot of other cameramen who tried to make the move. And in each case they moved up their camera operator to be the DP, which really meant they didn't want to give up being the DP, and really wanted to do both. And my feeling was if I was going to succeed as a director, I had to just be a director and give up the safety net of being a cameraman.

Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family

I love playing different characters and things that are challenging. I'm not interested in safety at all. That's what makes me get up in the morning.

I am ready to compromise, but there is one thing I won't compromise on: the safety of the Israeli people.

Why worry about minor little details like clean air, clean water, safe ports and the safety net when Jesus is going to give the world an "Extreme Makeover: Planet Edition" right after he finishes putting Satan in his place once and for all?

Our sense of safety depends on predictability, so anything living outside the usual rules we suspect to be an outlaw, a ghoul.

The idea of safety had shrunk into particles - one snug moment, then the next. Meanwhile, the brain piped fugues of worry and staged mind-theaters full of tragedies and triumphs, because unfortunately, the fear of death does wonders to focus the mind, inspire creativity, and heightens the senses. Trusting one's hunches only seems gamble if one has time for seem; otherwise the brain goes on autopilot and trades the elite craft of analysis for the best rapid insights that float up from its danger files and ancient bag of tricks.

Nobody wants to fall into a safety net, because it means the structure in which they've been living is in a state of collapse and they have no choice but to tumble downwards. However, it beats the alternative.

It is very easy to say that the important thing is to try your best, but if you are in real trouble the most important thing is not trying your best, but getting to safety.

Freethinkers reject faith as a valid tool of knowledge. Faith is the opposite of reason because reason imposes very strict limits on what can be true, and faith has no limits at all. A Great Escape into faith is no retreat to safety. It is nothing less than surrender.

I didn't say no because between safety and adventure I choose adventure.

Sometimes, like now, Olive had a sense of just how desperately hard every person in the world was working to get what they needed. For most, it was a sense of safety, in the sea of terror that life increasingly became. (211)

Cars, toys, aspirin, meat, toasters, water - nearly every product sold has passed basic safety regulations well in advance of being marketed and sold. But consumer credit is a kind of buyer-beware, wild west. That is partly the result of history.

The desire to be seen as superior and singular- and, conversely, but similarly, inferior and individual, is a big topic...They have a term for the syndrome- it is called terminal uniqueness...we all refuse to be part of the crowd, to walk in the middle of the road in the safety of others. We all think were special. But the problem is, as I point out to Dr. Singer all the time, I actually am special.

I will be as good unto ye as ever a Queen was unto her people. No will in me can lack, neither do I trust shall there lack any power. And persuade yourselves that for the safety and quietness of you all I will not spare if need be to spend my blood.

For, what is a family without a steward, a ship without a pilot, a flock without a shepherd, a body without a head, the same, I think, is a kingdom without the health and safety of a good monarch.

If you value your safety, avoid holy places founded in the name of peace and brotherhood.

The investor should be aware that even though safety of its principal and interest may be unquestioned, a long term bond could vary widely in market price in response to changes in interest rates.

No matter how careful you are, the one risk no investor can ever eliminate is the risk of being wrong. Only by insisting on what Graham called the "margin of safety" - never overpaying, no matter how exciting an investment seems to be - can you minimize your odds of error.

In security analysis the prime stress is laid upon protection against untoward events. We obtain this protection by insisting upon margins of safety, or values well in excess of the price paid.

Confronted with a challenge to distill the secret of sound investment into three words, we venture the motto, Margin of Safety.

There is a close logical connection between the concept of a safety margin and the principle of diversification.

The margin of safety is always dependent on the price paid. It will be large at one price, small at some higher price, nonexistent at some still higher price.

The function of the margin of safety is, in essence, that of rendering unnecessary an accurate estimate of the future.

To have a true investment, there must be a true margin of safety. And a true margin of safety is one that can be demonstrated by figures, by persuasive reasoning, and by reference to a body of actual experience.

An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis, promises safety of principal and an adequate return.

It is our argument that a sufficiently low price can turn a security of mediocre quality into a sound investment opportunity - provided that the buyer is informed and experienced and he practices adequate diversification. For, if the price is low enough to create a substantial margin of safety, the security thereby meets our criterion of investment.

We are going to isolate countries where these safety issues are a concern. The stigma that Africa carries leads people to fly non-African airlines and thereby deprive our airlines of opportunities to grow and expand.

We did it for their safety. Those were the final products of everything we did.

We design the look of all of our structures not only with backyard appeal in mind but also with absolute safety in mind.

If I was wrong in yielding to persuasion once, remember that it was to persuasion exerted on the side of safety, not of risk. When I yielded, I thought it was to duty; but no duty could be called in aid here. In marrying a man indifferent to me, all risk would have been incurred and all duty violated.

…each found her greatest safety in silence…

If personal safety means discrimination, then I'm all for it.

There is a safety net. It's a frayed safety net and a safety net full of holes. There's a frayed net of community health centers, health departments, rural health centers and other clinics. And they provide mostly primary care.

There is a safety factor here, ... This is a bombing indictment, and we just don't need people in there, trampling in the woods. Any place that we're looking at has potential evidence.

There are physical threats to safety from roving bands of armed individuals with weapons who are threatening the safety of the hospital.

We hold President Milosevic responsible for the safety of these three men,

We have rooms that leak due to poor roof conditions. Also, take a look at class sizes. Thirty-plus full-grown seniors are stuck in a 600-square-foot room. At class transition times, students must cram into the small hallways. It is a safety issue.

The fact that it's now a two-way agreement is symbolic and a positive step that may lead to further cooperation. A currency swap is still just a safety net for countries in the case of crisis, but I'm hopeful that this will lead to more forward-looking policy initiatives about how to get private- sector money flowing in the region.

The FAA is willing to do whatever is within our power to improve the efficiency of the air traffic system, so long as safety is not compromised.

The FAA is maintaining safety by determining that aircraft are properly equipped and authorized before they're allowed to fly at these high altitudes,

Safety and the assurance of safety are things of the past.

The charged life, then, usually calls to us after we have done what we were supposed to do, become who we thought we were supposed to be, lived as we thought we were supposed to live. Then the safety and comfort and compromise get to us, and a stirring of restlessness and revolution sends us off in search of greater adventures and meaning. From THE CHARGE

The place that seems most dangerous is exactly where safety lies.

I cannot imagine any condition which would cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that . . .

When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experiences of nearly forty years at sea, I merely say uneventful. I have never been in an accident of any sort worth speaking about....I never saw a wreck and have never been wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.

We have a safety meeting before any event. There's also people watching at all times.

We have a safety committee that meets at least once a month. Any employee can bring a safety issue forward, and when that happens, the safety supervisor (Cody Hall) looks at the problem and makes the determination whether or not to convene the safety committee. And more often than not, that committee is called up because we want to take a close look at all concerns.

We are all about safety and mobility. Our role in the city's comprehensive planning process is pretty passive at the moment. We certain applaud any efforts to improve mobility on state infrastructure.

This project has some serious safety implications. If we are going to allow this project to be halted or be delayed or continued for any further discussion on a third interchange when we feel that we've done everything possible to show that for many reasons it is not feasible, I think it would be poor stewardship on our part.

This program is not new to Hill or the industrial world. It's actually a management system that starts at the employee level. You get them to take charge of their safety program and then all the way up through management you develop a level of accountability.

This program is about giving people the tools that work. The Betty Ford Clinic doesn't work for methamphetamine. You can't do this in 30 days. You have to get somebody in, dry them out, teach them, and then when they get back into society, you have to have some type of safety net and support group for them.

Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a safety hazard don't see the danger of the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use this same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.

We can no longer tolerate handling prisoners in public hallways and restrooms for safety and security reasons,

When I looked at who would be the best choice to lead this district, I wanted to make sure that I endorsed a candidate who shared my commitment to the families, schools, and safety of this community. Janet Reilly understands the challenges facing Bay Area families. Janet is smart, committed, and policy oriented -- I trust her to make the thoughtful leadership decisions that will truly move California forward.

We won't be lifting the suspension of operation of our A-330s until we are absolutely confident safety can be maintained.
