Security
Security is freedom from, or resilience against, potential harm (or other unwanted coercive change) from external forces. Beneficiaries (technically referents) of security may be persons and social groups, objects and institutions, ecosystems, and any other entity or phenomenon vulnerable to unwanted change by its environment.
State
While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.
Vladimir Lenin, The State and Revolution (1917), Ch. 5
Security
If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They'll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, president of Columbia University, speech to luncheon clubs, Galveston, Texas, December 8, 1949.—The New York Times, December 9, 1949, p. 23.
State
The State is a conspiracy designed not only to exploit, but above all to corrupt its citizens.
Leo Tolstoy, Letter to Vasily Botkin
