Precaution Quotations
Precaution is better than cure.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.
John Maynard Keynes
To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.
Aldo Leopold
I just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. Look at all the replays - I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'd be lying if I sat here and said I wasn't frustrated right now.
Michael Vick
If every conceivable precaution is taken at first, one is often too discouraged to proceed at all.
Archer John Porter Martin
