The best protection for the people is not necessarily to believe everything people tell them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a universal and fundamental political principle that the power to protect can safely be confided only to those interested in protecting, or their responsible agents - a maxim not less true in private than in public affairs.
You have to protect yourself at all times. What goes around comes around.
Truth is the best defense.
You have to protect it too, you can't let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don't believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.
If we're going to have the view that we're going to protect everyone in this society equally, we have to mean it.
You can never protect yourself 100%. What you do is protect yourself as much as possible and mitigate risk to an acceptable degree. You can never remove all risk.
People protect what they love.

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.
Protect those who protect you.
