[Long hair] is considered bohemian, which may be why I grew it, but I keep it long because I love the way it feels, part cloak, part fan, part mane, part security blanket.   (Marge Piercy)
No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person.   (Willa Cather)
Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security.   (Edmund Burke)
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)
Life 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 Keller)
He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.   (Thomas Paine)
To secure peace is to prepare for war.   (Carl von Clausewitz)
Power always has to be kept in check; power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous.   (William Proxmire)
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.   (Helen Keller The Open Door)
Security is an illusion. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.   (Keller)
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.   (Henry Ford)
Freedom of opinion can only exist when the government thinks itself secure.   (Bertrand Russell)
We must learn not to disassociate the airy flower from the earthy root, for the flower that is cut off from its root fades, and its seeds are barren, whereas the root, secure in mother earth, can produce flower after flower and bring their fruit to maturity.   (Kabbalah)
"Where there is a will there is a way," is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself.   (Samuel Smiles)
Desire for security keeps littleness little and threatens the great with smallness.   (Author Unknown)
The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people - no mere father and mother - as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he could, for nature has welded him into it before he was born.   (Pearl S. Buck)
True 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. Roosevelt)
What seems to be generosity is often no more than disguised ambition, which overlooks a small interest in order to secure a great one.   (Francois De La Rochefoucauld)
It is the great privilege of poverty to be happy and yet unenvied, to be healthy with physic, secure without a guard, and to obtain from the bounty of nature what the great and wealthy are compelled to procure by the help of art.   (Johnson)
The ultimate security is your understanding of reality.   (H. Stanley Judd)
Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that progress gain in strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it.   (Josiah Gilbert Holland)
Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.   (Germaine Greer)
The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards -- and even then I have my doubts.   (Eugene H. Spafford)
