“They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security”
Benjamin Franklin
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
“The result [Republicans winning the Senate] would be devastating for reproductive choice, the environment, civil liberties, Social Security and health care, as well as corporate accountability.”
Barbra Streisand
“After 9/11, the nation is struggling to really balance national security with civil liberties, ... I'm writing as someone who's lived this struggle.”
James Yee
“The balance of civil liberties and national security has always been a precarious one. A balance that has been tested since the founding of our republic.”
David Crane
“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”
“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”
Thomas Jefferson
