Of course, I agreed, and he proceeded to take me to the [[bomb]] [[shelter]] beneath the White House that would house the [[President]] and his family if [[nuclear attack]] or [[riot|civil unrest]] ever hit the city of Washington. This Army captain showed me the briefing rooms for the Cabinet members, the housing for the troops that would be assigned to guard our nation’s leaders, and even the living quarters for the First Family. I realized at that moment that I was standing in the single most protected spot in the United States, that no other room in America could provide equal safety or protection from harm. In my experience, then, the safest place in this country is in Washington D.C. But the safest place in this world, the safest place in your world and mine, is wherever the [[sovereign]] [[God]] of the [[universe]] takes us. You can be no more secure, you can build no [[home security|thicker walls]], you can find no greater protection than being in the very center of God’s [[divine]] [[will]] for your life.

* "If you are serious about [[preparedness]], then it is time to get out of your armchair and start [[homeschooling|training]] and preparing. It will take time. It will take some sweat. [[Essay:Invest in tangibles|It will take money]]. But once you’ve prepared, you can sleep well, knowing that you’ve done your best to protect and provide for your [[family]], regardless of what the future brings. Don’t get stuck in the rut of simply '''studying''' preparedness. Unless the shelves in your pantry and garage are filling with supplies, and unless you are growing muscles and calluses, you are not preparing."<ref>''[[How to Survive The End of the World as We Know It]]'', Plume (Division of Penguin Books), [[New York]], 2009, p. 289.</ref> - [[James Wesley Rawles]]

* "The modern world [of [[survivalism]]] is full of [[pundit]]s, poseurs, and [[Mall Ninjas]]. [[Preparedness]] is not just about [[Essay:Invest in tangibles|accumulating a pile of stuff]]. You need practical [[skill]]s, and those come only with [[homeschooling|study]], training, and practice. Any armchair [[survivalist]] with a credit card can buy a set of stylish [[camouflage]] fatigues and an “[[M4gery]]” [[carbine]] encrusted with umpteen accessories. Style points should not be mistaken for genuine skills and practicality."<ref>''[[How to Survive The End of the World as We Know It]]'', Plume (Division of Penguin Books), New York, 2009, p. 13.</ref> - [[James Wesley Rawles]]
