A Quote by Benjamin Franklin

He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither. — © Benjamin Franklin
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither.
He who trades pacing for gimmicky open-world freedom deserves neither.
Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.
I connect deeply with SAVE's mission and I realize it doesn't matter which specific group you're fighting for, that everyone deserves equality, everyone deserves safety, and everyone deserves to be able to live their lives free of hate, fear and discrimination.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Human beings have a drive for security and safety, which is often what fuels the spiritual search. This very drive for security and safety is what causes so much misery and confusion. Freedom is a state of complete and absolute insecurity and not knowing. So, in seeking security and safety, you actually distance yourself from the freedom you want. There is no security in freedom, at least not in the sense that we normally think of security. This is, of course, why it is so free: there's nothing there to grab hold of.
My colleagues and friends in the Freedom Caucus believe something very simple: Our country deserves a secure border and immigration laws that put the safety, security and prosperity of Americans first.
I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
I haven't decided if he deserved to eat bread made out of sticks or live in a rancid puddle, probably because I haven't made up my mind whether anyone deserves such treatment, though I suspect that the day a person gives up on the Geneva Conventions is the day a person gives up on the human race.
Each of us deserves the freedom to pursue our own version of happiness. No one deserves to be bullied.
When man gives up on reforming and inspiring society he also gives up his freedom.
Anyone willing to give up liberty in exchange for security deserves neither.
Those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.
A society that puts equality - in the sense of equality of outcome - ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality or freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom. On the other hand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy by-product, end up with both greater freedom and greater equality. Freedom means diversity but also mobility. It preserves the opportunity for today's less well off to become tomorrow's rich, and in the process, enables almost everyone, from top to bottom, to enjoy a richer and fuller life.
