It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.
William Makepeace ThackerayWe 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.
Blaise PascalWhat 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 MattisIran is not an enemy of ISIS; they have a lot to gain from the turmoil that ISIS creates.
Jim MattisIn 1993, Israel and North Korea were moving towards an agreement in which North Korea would stop sending any missiles or military technology to the Middle East and Israel would recognize that country. President Clinton intervened and blocked it.
Noam ChomskyI remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant, seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me.
Noam ChomskyThere is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.

John F. KennedyNATO has been a thread throughout my life.
Madeleine AlbrightIsraelis would mostly breathe a sigh of relief if Palestinians were to disappear.
Noam ChomskyOur forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.
Dwight D. EisenhowerPakistan will never be able to match the Indian militarily, and the effort to do so is taking an immense toll on the society.
Noam ChomskyIsrael is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Alice WalkerSooner or later, jihadist-style terror and WMD are going to come together and the consequences could be horrendous.
Noam ChomskyLeadership 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 KissingerWe can’t allow the world’s worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world’s worst weapons.
George W. BushAl Qaeda is still a threat. We cannot pretend somehow that because Barack Hussein Obama got elected as president, suddenly everything is going to be OK.
Barack ObamaWe spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.
John SteinbeckThe global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.
Dan QuayleI don’t want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.
Marilyn MonroeSenator McCain is Israel’s most unconditional ally in Mossad’s machinations, something that even his worst adversaries would have been able to imagine. McCain participated alongside this secret service in the creation of the Islamic State, which has appropriated a considerable part of Iraq as well as a third of Syria, according to its affirmations.
Fidel CastroWe 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 threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.
Noam ChomskyIn a country with millions of people and cars going everywhere, the enemy is going to get a car bomb out there once in awhile.
Jim MattisI will continue to believe that Israel’s security is paramount.
Barack ObamaI consider ISIS nothing more than an excuse for Iran to continue its mischief.
Jim MattisThe best security for civilization is the dwelling, and upon properly appointed and becoming dwellings depends, more than anything else, the improvement of mankind.
Benjamin DisraeliNone but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.
Thomas JeffersonWe 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.
Narendra ModiAmerica will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.
George W. BushIf 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.
John F. KennedyWe will stand up for our friends in the world. And one of the most important friends is the State of Israel. My administration will be steadfast in support Israel against terrorism and violence, and in seeking the peace for which all Israelis pray.
George W. BushI had faith in Israel before it was established, I have in it now. I believe it has a glorious future before it – not just another sovereign nation, but as an embodiment of the great ideals of our civilization.
Harry S. TrumanThe more a person seeks security, the more that person gives up control over their life.
Robert KiyosakiWhen Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982, the U.N. vetoed several resolutions right away, calling for an end to the fighting and so on, and that was a hideous invasion.
Noam ChomskyLet me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!
Golda MeirSecurity 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 GatesWe all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn’t come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn’t resurging. It didn’t work out.
Colin PowellI have no doubt that Russia will and should remain a major source of energy supplies for Europe and the world.
Joe BidenThe 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.
Brian TracyAll 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.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiPeople sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
George OrwellI 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.
Michelle ObamaIsrael will not tolerate Iran developing nuclear power, even if Iran claims it is for peaceful purposes. If there is an attack, oil prices will go through the roof.
Robert KiyosakiSome 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.
George W. BushI’m focusing on me. I’m focusing on my family’s security, my family’s financial security, so that’s all I can do.
Conor McGregorThe 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.
Noam ChomskyFirst, 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?
Barack ObamaIf you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWith 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.
BonoThe Bush Administration’s failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world.
Barack ObamaI think the Iranians are clearly determined to have a nuclear program. And we have to assume that with a nuclear program they have the capability and the will to create a nuclear weapon.
Colin PowellWe do not rejoice in victories. We rejoice when a new kind of cotton is grown and when strawberries bloom in Israel.
Golda MeirIf 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 only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.
Henry FordThe main foundations of every state, new states as well as ancient or composite ones, are good laws and good arms you cannot have good laws without good arms, and where there are good arms, good laws inevitably follow.
Niccolo MachiavelliThe 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 ModiIt’s overwhelmingly in the self-interest of the United States of America to have a secure, democratic friend, a strategic partner like Israel.
Joe BidenThe 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 MadisonThere is only one ‚retirement plan‘ for terrorists.
