Security (see also Peace)


“Security 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 Keller)

“Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity; they seem more afraid of life than death.” (James F. Byrnes)

“Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.” (William Congreve)

“There is no security on this earth, there is only opportunity.” (General Douglas MacArthur)
