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.

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

As far as U.S. intelligence knows, Iran is developing nuclear capacities, but they don’t know if they are trying to develop nuclear weapons or not. Chances are they’re developing what’s called ‚nuclear capability,‘ which many states have. That is the ability to have nuclear weapons if they decide to do it. That’s not a crime.

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.

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.

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.

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.

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.

We will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say you’re going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them and even if you don’t agree with them.

The magic of America is that we’re a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.

It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.

The security of Israel is a moral imperative for all free peoples.

There is only one ‚retirement plan‘ for terrorists.

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.

The threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.

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

I don’t want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.

The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the state governments, in times of peace and security.

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

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

If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.

The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire.

America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.

No one making less than $250,000 under Barack Obama’s plan will see one single penny of their tax raised, whether it’s their capital gains tax, their income tax, investment tax, any tax.

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.

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

Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary, confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror.

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.

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.

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

The progress of India is the destiny of one-sixth of humanity. And it will also mean a world more confident of its prosperity and more secure about its future.

What is the one country in the Middle East that has not been attacked by ISIS? One. That is Iran. That is more than happenstance, I’m sure.

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

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

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

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

All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.

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

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?

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

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.

When a nation is surrounded by weaponized nations, she has to equip herself.

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

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

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.

He that’s secure is not safe.

To secure peace is to prepare for war.

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.

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.

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

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

The U.S. has strategic and economic interests in Southeast Asia that must be secured. Holding Indochina is essential to securing these interests. Therefore, we must hold Indochina.
