Complacency

Does anyone have any idea what the saying about complacency is...

Dont know if its "THE" saying but here is a saying

'You don't want too much fear in a market, because people will be blinded to some very good buying opportunities. You don't want too much complacency because people will be blinded to some risk.'
 
This would be one example

'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.' Edmund Burke

Yeh, but that can sometimes be confidence backed by knowledge.

My understand of complacency was "laisseze faire" (french) let others conduct thier own afairs, but often misused in my view to mean "could not care less". So I s'pose answered my own question by being wrong.

"Complacent" feeling of quiet pleasure.....self satisfaction. Macquarie Dictionary.

Intersting word and have learnt something, thanks for the thread.
