Security Exploits

Famous quotes containing the words security and/or exploits:

    “It is hard for those who have never known persecution,
    And who have never known a Christian,
    To believe these tales of Christian persecution.
    It is hard for those who live near a Bank
    To doubt the security of their money.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Oh! how many actions, how many fabulous exploits remain without glory in the midst of the night.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
