DJ Khaled Quotes

Living is dangerous. The important thing is to know the limits.

Even though there will be times when I'll need to protect myself - there will definitely be times when I'll have to put up my guard just to monitor what comes in and out of my life - there's a grace there... no pun intended!

I never think people are too careful with me.

My parents wouldn't have sent me out into the world with wool over my eyes. You have to be aware, or you'll be swallowed.

I had been gullible, naive, soft, pliable. That's why I got taken advantage of. To survive, you have to have a tough skin.

Everybody burns out in this world; amateur, pro, it doesn't matter, they all burn out, they all get hurt, the OK guys and the not-OK guys both. That's why everybody takes out a little insurance. I've got some too, here at the bottom of the heap. That way, you manage to survive if you burn out. If you're all by yourself and don't belong anywhere, you go down once, and you're out. Finished.

If you hold yourself dear, protect yourself well.

People are all vulnerable in so many different ways. We go into survival mode a lot of times.

I don't want anything bad to happen to me.

One is not exposed to danger who, even when in safety is always on their guard.

Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.

Fear is the foundation of safety.

I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.

All I can do is put on my armor and brace for the arrows.

Just as courage is the danger of life, so is fear its safeguard.

A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole.

Desperation, weakness, vulnerability - these things will always be exploited. You need to protect the weak, ring-fence them, with something far stronger than empathy.

My goal is the same as every year - to not hurt myself.

After victory, tighten your helmet chord.

Security is for cadavers.

When you lose a parent at ten years old, the world seems like a much scarier place. It makes complete sense to me that I took survival courses when I was a teenager and started going to war zones as a reporter. I didn't ever want to be taken advantage of, and I wanted to be able to take care of those around me.

You cannot rely on the police, you cannot rely on the government, you cannot rely on the bank to protect you.

You just always have to protect yourself. Try not to take any unnecessary hits.

You grow up rough, you think differently. You think you've got to protect yourself at all times. I didn't want any help. I thought I could do everything by myself, which you can't.

I try not to put myself in horrible situations anymore.
