Notable quotes

“Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.”
— Alexander Graham Bell, as quoted in The Military Quotation Book by James Charlton, p. 37.
“If you are not ready, and did not know what to do, it could hurt you in different ways. It could knock you down, hard, or throw you against a tree or a wall. It is such a big explosion, it can smash in buildings and knock signboards over, and break windows all over town, but if you duck and cover, like Burt [the Turtle], you will be much safer.”
— Duck and Cover (1951)
“To protect those who are not able to protect themselves is a duty which every one owes to society.”
— Lord Macnaghten‎, Jenoure v. Delmege (1890), 60 L. J. Rep. (N. S.) Q. B. 13; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 212.
