Better ride safe in the dark, says the proverb, than in the daylight with a cut-throat at your elbow

Real valor consists not in being insensible to danger; but in being prompt to confront and disarm it.

I had final cut, and I cut my own throat.

If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.

Safety's just danger, out of place.

I have a perfect cure for a sore throat: cut it.
