"Security is mostly a superstition" -- Helen Keller
The longer quote right here:

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men
as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer
in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
--Helen Keller

5. Don't tell that to humans
We've attempted to take chance out of life for thousands of years, and won't stop because of some quote.
