Benjamin Franklin


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

Written by Benjamin Franklin, with quotation marks but almost certainly his original thought, sometime shortly before February 17, 1775 as part of his notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly, as published in Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin (1818). Wikipedia.
