“They who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.—written for the Pennsylvania Assembly in its Reply to the Governor, 11 November 1755”

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

“No realistic American can expect from a dictator's peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion, or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors. Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”

“Benjamin Franklin, that those who trade some of their liberty for a little temporary security deserve neither and will lose both. The wisdom of the founders never ceased to amaze him.”

“If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one.”
