How to use safe in a sentence?

  1. Glenn Saxe:

    The first kind of thought and feeling is, 'Am I safe? Are people close to me safe? Will something happen? Will people I depend on protect me?' you want to be assuring to your child, you want to communicate that you're ... doing everything you can do to keep them safe.

  2. Thornton Wilder:

    It's when you're safe at home that you wish you were having an adventure. When you're having an adventure you wish you were safe at home.

  3. C. S. Lewis:

    Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket--safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

  4. Peter Pronovost:

    Safe Patients, Smart Hospitals, safe Patients would love to be able to do much broader testing to identify all those people who are positive and then make sure that Safe Patients isolate Safe Patients , Smart Hospitals.

  5. Cheryl Tan:

    It's really important to remember that there is no safe amount, no safe time and no safe type of alcohol to drink during pregnancy.
