Safety Quotes

Every human being is born into this world with the innate quality of ensuring safety. As we develop, we are continually building defence mechanisms to counter and shield both the physical and emotional brutal advances that occasionally, yet inevitably land in our direction.

Why do we thinking a hundred and one times before entering a serious romantic relationship? The answer can be compressed into one tiny simple word and that is ‘safety’. As long as there’s fear, measures for safety are always considered. No electric circuit comes without a fuse box. Similarly, no sensible individual neglects the need for safety.

After all, haven’t you heard them say – “Better safe than sorry”. Tread this article to encounter many more eye-opening quotes.
