Security Quotations
Distrust and caution are the parents of security.
Benjamin Franklin
For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.
Thomas Jefferson
The greatest security for Israel is to create new Egypts.
Ronald Reagan
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
John F. Kennedy
Only the insecure strive for security.
Wayne Dyer
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
When we think of the major threats to our national security, the first to come to mind are nuclear proliferation, rogue states and global terrorism. But another kind of threat lurks beyond our shores, one from nature, not humans - an avian flu pandemic.
Barack Obama
We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
Barack Obama
It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
Barack Obama
