Thought of the Day (Dowdified versions)
Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Here is what he really said in 1755:
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
The version that appears on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal reads:
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
