"Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been to much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land, fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him, while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some pagan god -- Society, The State, The Government, The Commune -- must give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is."  ~ Rose Wilder Lane ~
"There is no security on this earth, only opportunity." ~ General Douglas MacArthur ~
"Yet one thing secures us what ever betide, the scriptures assures us the Lord will provide."  ~ Sir Isaac Newton ~

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons, 

neither the present nor the future,

nor any power,

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

~ Romans 8:38-39 ~
