"The only security for the American people today, or for any people, is to be found through the control of force rather than the use of force"

- Norman Cousins

About this Quote

This quote by Norman Cousins recommends that the only way to make sure security for any people is to manage using force, rather than counting on the use of force. This indicates that making use of force should be a last resort, and that other methods should be utilized to ensure security. This might include diplomatic negotiations, economic sanctions, or other forms of serene resolution. By controlling making use of force, it is possible to prevent unneeded violence and destruction, and to guarantee that the security of an individuals is not compromised. This quote also suggests that using force ought to be used sensibly, and only when definitely essential. This is an important pointer that the use of force ought to not be ignored, which it must be used as a last resort.
