Survival Instinct Quotes

“We trust security guards—you know, the employment pool that gave us the Son of Sam killer, the assassin of John Lennon, the Hillside Strangler, and more arsonists and rapists than you have time to read about. Has the security industry earned your confidence? Has government earned it? We have a Department of Justice, but it would be more appropriate to have a department of violence prevention because that’s what we need and that’s what we care about. Justice is swell, but safety is survival.”

“We held on to great memories. This sustains us in every moment.”

“If you read stories, you find the strength, faith and hope to survive everyday life.”

“What happen to you are tiny matters? You can overcome every hurdle with positive attitude.”

“The fullness of life is wrapped in all sacred times: plenty and scarcity; happiness and sadness; planting and harvesting; sunrise and sunset; winter and springtime; summer and autumn; beginning and finishing; birth and death…!”

“You ought to welcome troubled-souls with your peaceful-spirit.”

“Stay strong. Focus on the ultimate goal.”

“Challenges are part of life. Overcoming them makes you a stronger person.”

“Without adversity and trials we may never know what we are capable of.”

“The universe runs on the principle that one who can exert the most evil on other creatures runs the show.”

“There is ALWAYS going to be a way out, or in, or around... you need to train your brain to know and to believe that. Because when you do, you're not going to stop until you find that way. Some people think about fate. I'm not like that. I'm not like, "this is my fate." Instead, I say, "this life is my gift and I have my tools with me and there is ALWAYS going to be a way.”

“The instinct to survive is human nature itself, and every aspect of our personalities derives from it. Anything that conflicts with the survival instinct acts sooner or later to eliminate the individual and thereby fails to show up in future generations. . . . A scientifically verifiable theory of morals must be rooted in the individual's instinct to survive--and nowhere else!--and must correctly describe the hierarchy of survival, note the motivations at each level, and resolve all conflicts. We have such a theory now; we can solve any moral problem, on any level. Self-interest, love of family, duty to country, responsibility toward the human race . . . . The basis of all morality is duty, a concept with the same relation to group that self-interest has to individual.”

“We were despised and trampled upon but the Lord lifted us.”

“The pursuit of our dreams is not without any difficulty. Those who triumph have learn’t to overcome the difficulty.”
