“The man who trades freedom for security does not deserve nor will he ever receive either.”
Benjamin Franklin
“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.”
Dwight David Eisenhower
“It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either.”
Mark Twain
“Man is a being with free will; therefore, each man is potentially good or evil, and it's up to him and only him (through his reasoning mind) to decide which he wants to be.”
Ayn Rand
“Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”
“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”
“Civilization will not last, freedom will not survive, peace will not be kept, unless a very large majority of mankind unite together to defend them and show themselves possessed of a constabulary power before which barbaric and atavistic forces will”
Winston Churchill
