I remember one parent-teacher conference at the lower school, and Barack went, and there were SWAT guys on top of the roof of the school. And Malia was like, ‚Dad, really? Really? Do they really have to be up there?‘ And it’s like, yeah, honey, they do.

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.

We have now just enshrined, as soon as I sign this bill, the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their healthcare.

Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of ‚I know.‘ Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.

I have spoken about inflation, unemployment, farmers‘ problems, security, etc. I keep talking about these issues. I seek answers from the Indian government.

In a world of complex threats, our security and leadership depends on all elements of our power – including strong and principled diplomacy.

The best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.

See, that’s why Barack’s running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly – to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American – and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.

I’m focusing on me. I’m focusing on my family’s security, my family’s financial security, so that’s all I can do.

We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.

It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one’s heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.

We like security: we like the pope to be infallible in matters of faith, and grave doctors to be so in moral questions so that we can feel reassured.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

The effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it’s a major problem, that’s just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.

Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they are making America more secure.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

We can’t allow the world’s worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world’s worst weapons.

It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

How can we help President Obama?

Freedom of opinion can only exist when the government thinks itself secure.

To be a bodyguard is to be a kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.

The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate… we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.

Ninety-nine percent of the men and women of the FBI… are just professionals. I don’t want Americans, if an FBI agent knocks on their door, to have to be worried about well, is he a Democrat or a Republican? He’s an FBI agent.

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.

Ninety percent of the cases of polio are in security-vulnerable areas.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.

I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.

For the record, our democracy is revered around the world. And free elections are the best way on Earth to choose our leaders. This is how we elected John F. Kennedy; Ronald Reagan; two George Bushes; Bill Clinton; and Barack Obama. It has worked for decades.

I think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and George Bush is not president, Al Qaeda is still a threat.

Barack Obama is probably the most exciting candidate that either the Democratic or Republican party has produced at least since I’ve been around. He’s fresh, he’s new, he’s insightful.

If you’re looking for the safe choice, you shouldn’t be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.

Real joy seems to me almost as unlike security or prosperity as it is unlike agony.

If social stability goes pear-shaped, you have a choice between anarchy and dictatorship. Most people will opt for more security, even if they have to give up some personal freedom.

The safety of the people shall be the highest law.

If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.

In a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.

None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.

The more a person seeks security, the more that person gives up control over their life.

Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.

Barack Obama did tell me that I was one of Michelle Obama’s favorite actors.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.

Leadership is absolutely vital if there are comparable countries which can affect the security of the world you live in. Between Lincoln and Roosevelt’s time, America was protected by huge oceans and, in practice, by the British navy. Today, it’s different, and the obsession of the Obama administration has been for retrenchment.

It was not a religion that attacked us that September day. It was al-Qaeda. We will not sacrifice the liberties we cherish or hunker down behind walls of suspicion and mistrust.

I am the commander in chief of the United States armed forces, and Iraq is gonna have to ultimately provide for its own security.

There is only one ‚retirement plan‘ for terrorists.

My doorman is more important to me than any head of any company. He keeps us safe.

Quite frankly, Russian aggression in Ukraine and its illegal occupation of Crimea remind us that we still have a good deal more work to do to guarantee the strategic vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.

I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he’s going to do, even when it’s hard – especially when it’s hard.

Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don’t attack each other. Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction.

It confuses me and disappoints me when somebody says, ‚What does he do? What does he do?‘ My records are some of the biggest anthems ever. What do you think, they magically just appear? Obama walked out to my record.

To secure peace is to prepare for war.

We should not look at terrorism from the nameplates – which group they belong to, what is their geographical location, who are the victims. These individual groups or names will keep changing. Today you are looking at the Taliban or ISIS; tomorrow you might be looking at another name.

Security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit; your machine can be taken over totally.

Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back.

Most people want security in this world, not liberty.

If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president’s.

When it comes to the health of our families, Barack refused to listen to all those folks who told him to leave health reform for another day, another president. He didn’t care whether it was the easy thing to do politically – that’s not how he was raised – he cared that it was the right thing to do.

There were the questions of what kind of First Lady I would be, what issues would I focus on. Those were the questions that were being pounded on me through the campaign. A lot of times, I wondered what in the world Barack was even getting us into.
