I know what my comfort zones are. But without a back-up, I will never step out of my comfort zone. I don't go bungee jumping; I won't jump from the third floor without a safety net. I don't do such things. That's not my personality type.

Kajol

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.

Shane Claiborne

Many great persons have been of opinion that love is no other thing than complacency itself, in which they have had much appearance of reason. For not only does the movement of love take its origin from the complacency which the heart feels at the first approach of good, and find its end in a second complacency which returns to the heart by union with the thing beloved--but further, it depends for its preservation on this complacency, and can only subsist through it as through its mother and nurse; so that as soon as the complacency ceases, love ceases.

Saint Francis de Sales

The duties of an officer are the safety, honor, and welfare of your country first; the honor, welfare, and comfort of the men in your command second; and the officer s own ease, comfort, and safety last.

George S. Patton

I think uncertainty is good for things. Certainty breeds complacency and complacency means that you just sit somewhere in your nice little comfortable suburban house in Michigan, looking at CNN and saying, "Oh, those poor immigrant children that are all coming across the border. But we really can't have them here - that isn't what God wants. Let's send them all back to the drug cartels." There's a complacency to it.

Stephen King

The world was a terrible place, cruel, pitiless, dark as a bad dream. Not a good place to live. Only in books could you find pity, comfort, happiness - and love. Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.

Cornelia Funke

Safety is the most basic task of all. Without sense of safety, no growth can take place. Without safety, all energy goes to defense

Torey L. Hayden

We don't want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people into complacency and dependence.

Paul Ryan

We don’t want to turn the safety net into a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to lives of dependency and complacency...

Paul Ryan

Happiness. It was the place where passion, with all its dazzle and drumbeat, met something softer: homecoming and safety and pure sunbeam comfort. It was all those things, intertwined with the heat and the thrill, and it was as bright within her as a swallowed star.

Laini Taylor

It is strange how a man believes he can think better in a special place. I have such a place, have always had it, but I know it isn't thinking I do there, but feeling and experiencing and remembering. It's a safety place. Everyone must have one, although I never heard a man tell of it.

John Steinbeck

The Christian life is not about finding safety and comfort; it’s about finding yourself in a dangerous place of vulnerable compassion.

Ed Stetzer

I began by working in a study in an attic, but for many years, I've used a small room in a library. What matters to me isn't decor or comfort but only quiet. I need to hear the rhythms of phrases, the music of sentences. Any place that allows me to do that is good enough.

Steven Millhauser

Children are meant to understand compassion and comfort because they have received compassion and comfort - and this should be in the family setting. A family should be a place where comfort is experienced and understood, so that the people are prepared to give comfort to others.

Edith Schaeffer

Living in the past or living in the future - those aren't real. The moment is now, and that's where safety and comfort and all that good stuff is.

Marc Jacobs

Every Bachelor and Bachelorette says, 'I never would have dated a person like that or a person from this place.' But if you're on the 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette,' obviously your type isn't working. So our job is to break that comfort barrier.
