“adequately protect the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq.”
A. Bush
“Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“When you've been burned your always going to have your hand on the pull cord...the right one makes you forget you have the parachute on.”
Shane Pendley
“There is only one security, and when you've lost that security, you've lost everything you've got. And that is the security of confidence in yourself; to be, to create, to make any position you want to make for yourself. And when you lose that confidence, you've lost the only security you can have. ... Self-confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. And when he hasn't got that, not all the pearls in China nor all the grain and corn in Iowa can give him security, because that's the only security there is.”
L. Ron Hubbard
“When you're dealing with people who think that Sponge Bob Square Pants is more important than social security, you have a problem.”
Christine Todd Whitman
“A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy... While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but once they lose their virtue, they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security.”
Samuel Adams
“Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction.”
Thomas Jefferson
“Separation secures manifest friendship”
Indian Proverb
“A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner, neither do uninterrupted prosperity and success qualify for usefulness and happiness. The storms of adversity, like those of the ocean, rouse the faculties, and excite the invention, prudence, skill, and fortitude of the voyager. The martyrs of ancient times, in bracing their minds to outward calamities, acquired a loftiness of purpose and a moral heroism worth a lifetime of softness and security.”
Anonymous
“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 David Eisenhower
