Quote:If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.[Benjamin Franklin] Quote:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:To believe is very dull. To doubt is intensely engrossing. To be on the alert is to live, to be lulled into security is to die.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Talk of imminent threat to our national security through the application of external force is pure nonsense. Indeed it is part of the general pattern of misguided policy that our country is now geared to an arms economy which was bred in an artificially induced psychosis of war hysteria and nurtured upon an incessant propaganda of fear.[Douglas MacArthur] Quote:It must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence.[John Adams] Quote:Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security.[Edmund Burke] Quote:Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.[Lord Acton] Quote:There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.[General Douglas MacArthur] Quote:The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved.[Confucius] Quote:No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.[Willa Cather] Definitions of: securityDefinition: The condition or quality of being secure; secureness.Definition: Freedom from apprehension, anxiety, or care; confidence of power or safety; hence, assurance; certainty.
