Racism and injustice and violence sweep our world, bringing a tragic harvest of heartache and death.
Billy GrahamSecurity 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.
Bill GatesThe means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.
James MadisonWe continue to recognize the greater ability of some to earn more than others. But we do assert that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him a proper security is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.
Franklin D. RooseveltThe illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.
Henry KissingerTrump just looks stupid trying to appeal to blacks and Latinos.
Colin PowellA black person grows up in this country – and in many places – knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.
Maya AngelouMy experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‚blackness‘ than ever before. I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.
Michelle ObamaDistrust and caution are the parents of security.
Benjamin FranklinFixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.
Barack ObamaThere is only one ‚retirement plan‘ for terrorists.
Jim MattisUnderstand, our police officers put their lives on the line for us every single day. They’ve got a tough job to do to maintain public safety and hold accountable those who break the law.
Barack ObamaNinety percent of the cases of polio are in security-vulnerable areas.
Bill GatesThe magic of America is that we’re a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.
Madeleine AlbrightThe Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.
Charles SpurgeonWhat 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.
Jim MattisDiscrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.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.
Margaret AtwoodIf you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.
Thomas SowellLeadership 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.
Henry KissingerThe NICS database has holes big enough to drive a Mack truck through.
John KennedyNobody has ever convinced me that race is real.
Alice WalkerAfter two years at UCLA, I decided to leave. I was convinced that no amount of education would help a black man get a job.
Jackie RobinsonThe 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.
Narendra ModiI had practiced with the team, and the first scheduled game was with the University of Missouri. They made it quite clear to the Army that they would not play a team with a black player on it. Instead of telling me the truth, the Army gave me leave to go home.
Jackie RobinsonI’m prepared to say that law enforcement should be allowed to seize the guns of those who are suspected to be involved in domestic terrorism.
Kamala Harris‚Getting smart on crime‘ does not mean reducing sentences or punishments for crimes.
Kamala HarrisThe appropriate response to terrorist crimes is police work, which has been successful worldwide.
Noam ChomskyThe 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.
Abraham MaslowMost people want security in this world, not liberty.
H. L. MenckenWe will bankrupt ourselves in the vain search for absolute security.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIf 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 FordThe majority of my interactions with police were not good. There were a few good ones who were actually protecting the community. But then you have ones from the Valley. They never met me in their life, but since I’m a kid in basketball shorts and a white T-shirt, they wanna slam me on the hood of the car. Sixteen years old.
Kendrick LamarI refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality… I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.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.
Colin PowellIn the early 1940s, as a young teenager, I was utterly appalled by the racist and jingoist hysteria of the anti-Japanese propaganda. The Germans were evil, but treated with some respect: They were, after all, blond Aryan types, just like our imaginary self-image. Japanese were mere vermin, to be crushed like ants.
Noam ChomskyDogmas 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.
Eckhart TolleThe best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.
Benjamin DisraeliTo be a bodyguard is to be a kamikaze pilot. Dedicated.
Mr. TAnti-Semitism is real in this country.
Kamala HarrisThere are certain age limits on police officers. They’d have retired me out at 65.
Clint EastwoodWhen soldiers have been baptized in the fire of a battle-field, they have all one rank in my eyes.
Napoleon BonaparteHe that’s secure is not safe.
Benjamin FranklinWhen a nation is surrounded by weaponized nations, she has to equip herself.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamLearned 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.
James MadisonWith all singers, insecurity is your best security. That’s why we’re such loud people and why we walk all funny. You think, ‚Are people interested?‘ But I think our band has something and they know we don’t just put albums out. We do think about it.
BonoHere’s what I believe, I think the FBI is the premier law enforcement agency in the history of the world but i think there was some bad apples over there.
John KennedyI think the FBI is the premier law enforcement agency in all of human history.
John KennedyThe 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.
James MadisonIf… 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.
Margaret ThatcherI detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
Nelson MandelaI grew up with J. Edgar Hoover. He was the G-man, a hero to everybody, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was the big, feared organization. He was ahead of his time as far as building up forensic evidence and fingerprinting. But he took down a lot of innocent people, too.
Clint EastwoodAn unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.
Mahatma GandhiNinety-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.
John KennedyPeople should not be in a position where their children have access to weapons and ammunition.
Joe BidenI used to bodyguard for some celebrities and other people, and when I wasn’t doing that, I used to work at a disco as a doorman or a bouncer.
Mr. TThe connection between dress and war is not far to seek; your finest clothes are those you wear as soldiers.
Virginia WoolfThe object is very clear in the fight against racism; you have reasons why you’re opposed to it. But when you’re writing a novel, you don’t want the reader to come out of it voting yes or no to some question. Life is more complicated than that.
Margaret AtwoodLaws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
Benjamin FranklinAs 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.
Noam Chomsky
