Famous quotes containing the words state and/or security:

    “A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
    —Second Amendment, U.S. Constitution (1791)
