"The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now"
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
About this Quote
This quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh speaks to the concept that real security in a relationship is not found in material belongings, expectations, or hopes. Instead, it is discovered in the present minute. We must accept our relationships as they are now, without recalling to what it was or forward to what it might be. This indicates that we must be content with our relationships in today, and not depend on the past or future for security. We must be open to change and growth, and want to accept our relationships as they are in the minute. This is the only way to truly find security in a relationship.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded"
"I believe that successfully addressing our national security needs while protecting our basic freedoms and civil liberties requires continual Congressional oversight, and I will continue to work to assert the role of this body in carrying out this grave responsibility"
