These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.
Andrew Bogut
Image
Republics exist only on the tenure of being constantly agitated.... There is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust.
Wendell Phillips
Image
All revolutions more or less threaten the tenure of property: but most of those who live in democratic countries are possessed of property - not only are they possessed of property but they live in the condition of men who set the greatest store upon their property.
Alexis de Tocqueville

It is a general principle of human nature, that a man will be interested in whatever he possesses, in proportion to the firmness or precariousness of the tenure by which he holds it.

It's not that unusual for presidents to take strong positions on cases decided by the court. But you know, Lesley, that's why the Constitution wisely gave us life tenure. They can talk about us, but they can't remove us.

The average prison term for a convicted murderer in America is 6.5 years. The average tenure for a member of Congress is 13 years. We've got it backwards. We are giving early release to the wrong criminal class.

I didn't want to become a professor or get tenure or teach or anything. All I wanted to do was get a degree because Louis Leakey said I needed one, which was right, and once I succeeded I could get back to the field.
Jane Goodall
Image
During my tenure at the Endowment, I often found that those who did us the most damage did so under the justification of helping us by 'preventing worse language.' In the military it would be called friendly fire. One ends up just as dead.

Thy Banners gleam a little, and are furled Against thy turrets surge His phantom tow'rs Drugged with his Opiates the nations nod, Refusing still the beauty of thine hours And fragile is thy tenure of this world Still haunted by the monstrous ghost of God.
