“Safety is the most basic task of all. Without sense of safety, no growth can take place. Without safety, all energy goes to defense”
“Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety (out of fear and need for defense) and risk (for the sake of progress and growth). Make the growth choice a dozen times a day.”
“You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked.”
“Too many people surrender to a place of safety. That place where all they do is long to sleep so they can dream about living.”
“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.”
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
