Security is a kind of death.
- Tennessee WilliamsBetter be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security.
- Abbie AlftToo many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death.
- James F. ByrnesSecurity is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
- Helen KellerThe most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities.
- Adam KidronLife is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
- Helen KellerThe 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.
- Aaron RouseThere is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
- Douglas MacArthurThe security of Society lies in custom and unconscious instinct, and the basis of the stability of Society, as a healthy organism, is the complete absence of any intelligence amongst its members.
- Oscar WildeThe man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
- Henry MillerThose who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.
- Benjamin FranklinThe only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
- Henry FordSecurity is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
- Helen KellerNo one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.
- Willa CatherThe search for static security - in the law and elsewhere - is misguided. The fact is security can only be achieved through constant change, adapting old ideas that have outlived their usefulness to current facts.
- William OslerTrue individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
- Franklin D. RooseveltUncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.
- John Allen PaulosWe can no longer allow America's dependence on foreign oil to compromise our energy security. Instead, we must invest in inventing new ways to power our cars and our economy. I'll put my faith in American science and ingenuity any day before I depend on Saudi Arabia.
- Senator John KerryThe opposite of security is insecurity, and the only way to overcome insecurity is to take risks.
- Theodore Forstmann
