Complacency makes one as guilty as those who destroy the Earth.
Tom Brown, Jr.
Image
No author, I think, is deserving of much censure for vanity if, taking down one of his ten-year-old books, he exclaims: Great heavens, did I write as well as that then? for the implication always is that one does not write any longer so well and few are so envious as to censure the complacencies of an extinct volcano.
Ford Madox Ford
Image
Often we hate in others the thing which we fear in ourselves or we hate because the other person raises to our consciousness some fault or inadequacy which we would prefer to have remain unconscious, and therefore without power to disturb our self-complacency.
Frances G. Wickes
Image
Patience is the most valuable trait of the endgame player. In the endgame, the most common errors, besides those resulting from ignorance of theory, are caused by either impatience, complacency, exhaustion, or all of the above.
Pal Benko

I hate the giving of the hand unless the whole man accompanies it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.

Love...no such thing. Whatever it is that binds families and married couples together, that's not love. That's stupidity or selfishness or fear. Love doesn't exist. Self interest exists, attachment based on personal gain exists, complacency exists. But not love. Love has to be reinvented, that’s certain.
Arthur Rimbaud
Image
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Image
The drug war isn't what purports to be. If you look at the whole operation and the tie-in between the American intelligence agencies, these so-called assets, the spies on the payroll of the CIA, and drug dealers. Don't let members of Congress and the media get away with this complacency and distortion!
Jerry Brown
Image
It's always good to be underestimated.
Donald Trump
Image
Bull markets are great, but they breed complacency. Bear markets can be energizing. Instead of fretting over the decline in your net worth, think opportunistically about all those bargains - and the potential gains when, inevitably, a bull market returns.
James Stewart
Image
Self-complacency is the companion of ignorance.
Solomon Schechter
Image
The problem at Wimbledon seems to be that the club has suffered a loss of complacency.
Joe Kinnear
Image
I often wish I'd got on better with your father,' he said.
Virginia Woolf
Image
Since [violence against women] is rooted in discrimination, impunity and complacency, we need to change attitudes and behavior - and we need to change laws and make sure they are enforced just like you are doing in Cuba.
Ban Ki-moon
Image
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.
Francis Chan
Image
The very fact that the planet is probably unsustainable with all that we've done to it and are doing to it, it's an appalling piece of evidence. It shows our complacency, our lack of passion or inclination to be authentic and really understand our true values. It's consistently depressing, but nevertheless, we carry on.
Annie Lennox
Image
The power of a bold idea uttered publicly in defiance of dominant opinion cannot be easily measured. Those special people who speak out in such a way as to shake up not only the self-assurance of their enemies, but the complacency of their friends, are precious catalysts for change.
Howard Zinn
Image
Change before you have to.
Jack Welch
Image
Complacency is the enemy of study. We cannot really learn anything until we rid ourselves of complacency.
Mao Zedong
Image
On the contrary, it might even be a projection of what the truth is of the Bush Administration's complacency and ineptitude on the terrorism in its first 9 months in office.
Sidney Blumenthal
Image
Those who have come here to hate should leave now for in their hate, they only betray themselves.
Terry Goodkind
Image
I'm from the American West. We have forest fires out there. And some of the worst forest fires in our history, the most damage were caused when we pulled the fire crews off the line too early. And so we're going to have to continue to keep the pressure on the enemy - ISIS. There's no room for complacency on this.
James Mattis
Image
Of all the things a leader should fear, complacency heads the list.
