Better (to be) safe than sorry

Meaning:

  • This means that you should be cautious because if you are not, you may regret it. 
  • It is best not to take risks even if it seems boring or hard work to be careful.


Example sentence:

My mother-in-law checks on my sons ten times a night. I find it irritating but she says it's better to be safe than sorry.



Questions for you to answer:

  1. Do you know any people who irritate you by being too cautious?
  2. On the other hand, has anything bad happened to you just because you were not cautious enough?
  3. Do you think you can stop certain negative things from happening by being cautious?
