Famous quotes containing the words security and/or policy:

    To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    If matrimony be really beneficial to society, the custom that ... married women alone are allowed any claim to place, is as useful a piece of policy as ever was invented.... The ridicule fixed on the appellation of old maid hath, I doubt not, frightened a very large number into the bonds of wedlock.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
