Complacency is the enemy of study.

Mao Zedong

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

Success can lead to complacency, and complacency is the greatest enemy of success.

Brian Tracy

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

I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.

Trent Reznor

Ross Brawn

The surest and most insidious enemy of freedom is not dictatorship, but complacency.

Natalie Angier

We are going to have to continue to keep the pressure on the enemy. There is no room for complacency on this.

James Mattis

I think people are complacent. But complacency is like any other metric. It's easy to measure where it is, but it's hard to tell how persistent it is. What causes really big bear markets is not just when people are overly complacent - it's when that complacency is sticky. As long as the skepticism can refresh itself, I think that the markets are still quite viable.

John Manley

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Tantra and adventure are very, very connected. Perhaps the greatest enemy for one who's journeying along the spiritual path is complacency.

Frederick Lenz

Avoid the tyranny of the reasonable voice...it will guarantee a complacency of never trying anything adventurous.

J. Michael Straczynski

Deliver us from evil - from moral duplicity and weakness, from laziness and spiritual complacency, from those lies we tell ourselves from our fear of facing the truth.
