QUOTES ON INSECURITY"The psychic task which a person can and must set for himself is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity." (Erich Fromm) "There is nothing stable in the world; uproar's your only music." (John Keats) "People are never more insecure than when they become obsessed with their fears at the expense of their dreams." (Norman Cousins) "The opposite of security is insecurity, and the only way to overcome insecurity is to take risks." (Theodore Forstmann) "Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life than death." (James F. Byrnes) "Do exactly what you would do if you felt most secure." (Meister Eckhart) "If we do not believe in ourselves- neither in our efficacy nor in our goodness- the universe is a frightening place." (Nathaniel Branden) "A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity." (Robert Heinlein) "Flight from insecurity is catastrophic to any kind of human growth. To flee from insecurity is to miss the whole point of being human." (Peter Bertocci) "It's an old adage that the way to be safe is never to be secure. Each one of us requires the spur of insecurity to force us to do our best." (Harold W. Dodds) "Many people think that by hoarding money they are gaining safety for themselves. if money is your ONLY hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a person can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. Without these qualities, money is practically useless." (Henry Ford) "Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found." (Anne Morrow Lindbergh) "Shun security." (Thales of Miletos) "Security is the chief enemy of mortals." (William Shakespeare) "One has to abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying." (Morris L. West) "Security is when everything is settled. When nothing can happen to you. Security is the denial of life." (Germaine Greer) "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) |
