People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today. If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide. Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love. It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
