People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.

Most people want security in this world, not liberty.

Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.

True security lies not in the things one has, but in the things one can do without.

There is no security on this earth. There is only opportunity.

Who is to guard the guards themselves?

I have an intense desire to return to the womb. Anybody's.

Security is a kind of death.

But who guards the guardians?

The only security is courage.

Security depends not so much upon how much you have, as upon how much you can do without.

God Himself is not secure, having given man dominion over His works.

The protected man doesn't need luck; therefore it seldom visits him.

Monopoly or the full control of supply, and hence of price, by a single firm was the ultimate security. But there were many very habitable half-way houses.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Our military plans should be based on the assumption of unpredictability, rather than on carefully drawn, static models of the world.

Nothing's as good as holding on to safety.

Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing, and the overtaking and possessing of a wish, discovers the folly of the chase.

The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

The most beaten paths are certainly the surest; but do not hope to scare up much game on them.
