Protection Quotes

Protection is not a principle but an expedient.

Benjamin Disraeli

The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself.

Susan Brownell Anthony Jacob

There is simply no room left for 'freedom from the tyranny of government' since city dwellers depend on it for food, power, water, transportation, protection, and welfare. Your right to live where you want, with companions of your choosing, under laws to which you agree, died in the eighteenth century with Captain Mission. Only a miracle or a disaster could restore it.

William Seward Burroughs

Protection and patriotism are reciprocal.

John Caldwell Calhoun

Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs

Leonardo da Vinci

There is no shadow of protection to be had by sheltering behind the slender stockades of visionary speculation, or by hiding behind the wagon-wheels of pacific theories.

Madame Chiang Kai-Shek

Discipline means protection from one's own wanton interest.

Tenzin Gyatso The 14th Dalai Lama

An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.

Norton vs. Shelby County

The best protection any woman can have . . . is courage.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

The highest activities are always essentially lonely and private, and these men had a robust sense of their independence and the ultimate self-sufficiency of the mind. In this they were just like Socrates. The only change they operated was to bring philosophy out of the closet into the open, instead of seeking protection behind a little wall like men in a storm. Of course, in so doing they made philosophy, on the one hand, more vulnerable to the public if the hopes of controlling the public are not fulfilled, and, on the other, put at risk that inner intransigence which is the necessary condition of the quest for truth. Not only the rewards but the new responsibilities might prove irresistible temptations to compromise.

Allan David Bloom

Our trees in our forests need protection to ensure that those cut are replanted and cutting is done wisely.

Catherine Pulsifer

The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life and activity; it affords protection to all beings.

Buddhist Sutra

Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.

Albert Camus

The prosperity of a nation requires the protection of a senate. Hereafter a national senate may require the protection of a national army.
