Quote by Benjamin Franklin

The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty

The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty

Summary

This quote implies that while being confined within a prison cell guarantees physical security, it simultaneously restricts one's freedom and liberty. Although the cell may provide protection from external threats, it confines individuals and denies them the ability to pursue their desires, make choices, and embrace life's opportunities. It underscores the price one pays for security when it comes at the expense of personal freedom and self-determination.

I want to see a player on the football field. I want to see what kind of teammate they are, what kind of leadership qualities they have. I want to see how aggressive they are, how much fun they have playing the game.

I love the fair lilies and roses so gay, They are rich in their pride and their splendor; But still more do I love to wander away To the meadow so sweet, Where down at my feet, The harebell blooms modest and tender.

Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model

Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.

Between the years of ninety-two and a hundred and two, however, we shall be the ribald, useless, drunken, outcast person we have always wished to be. We shall have a long white beard and long white hair; we shall not walk at all, but recline in a wheel chair and bellow for alcoholic beverages; in the winter we shall sit before the fire with our feet in a bucket of hot water, a decanter of corn whiskey near at hand, and write ribald songs against organized society... We look forward to a disreputable, vigorous, unhonoured, and disorderly old age.
