Definitions and quotes

Safety
Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected from harm or other non-desirable outcomes. Safety can also refer to the control of recognized hazards in order to achieve an acceptable level of risk.
Protection
Protection is not a principle, but an expedient.
Benjamin Disraeli, Speech in the House of Commons (17 March 1845).
Protection
A man wants no protection when his conduct is strictly right.
William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, Bird v. Gunston (1785), 3 Doug. 275; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 212.
Protection
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.
Accurate wind and wave forecasts are crucial to the day-to-day management of offshore and coastal operations and play a key role in coastal management systems. EU-funded researchers therefore developed realistic ocean wave models and incorporated them into accurate global climate forecasts.
