When the danger is great, one must not run away.

Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger.

Danger is ever-present in life, more for some than others.

The sense of danger is never, perhaps, so fully apprehended as when the danger has been overcome.

United States foreign policy, which includes national security, is literally disintegrating before our eyes.

The personal threat is something that's always been a part of our lives.

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

That seems to me the great American danger we're all in, that we'll bargain away the experience of being alive for the appearance of it.

I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.
