He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.

Benjamin Franklin

Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.

Benjamin Franklin

Those who give up liberty for the sake of security, deserve neither liberty nor security.

Benjamin Franklin

If the choice is given to us of liberty or security, we must scorn the latter with the proper contempt of free man and the sound judgment of wise men who know that liberty and security are not incompatible in the lives of honest men.

James Farley

Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? Will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? Liberty, the greatest of all earlthy blessings - give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! . . . Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel.

Patrick Henry

Conservatives value economic liberty and moral security, while the liberal values economic security and moral liberty.

Jonah Goldberg

The commitment to civil liberty is going to be reasserted strongly. But the concept of liberty is under attack, and our definition of insecurity, security and threats will change fundamentally. The depth of the attack on liberty will be felt painfully.

Ashraf Ghani

Liberty requires security without intrusion, security plus privacy.

Bruce Schneier

I would argue that security and liberty, security and privacy are not actually opposing. The only place those can be oppositional is in the realm of rhetoric but not fact.

Edward Snowden

I have a personal belief that you never have to give up liberty for security. You can still provide security without sacrificing our Bill of Rights.

Ron Paul

Liberty is of small value to the lower third of humanity. They greatly prefer security, which means protection by some class above them. They are always in favor of despots who promise to feed them. The only liberty an inferior man really cherishes is the liberty to quit work, stretch out in the sun, and scratch himself.

H. L. Mencken

Liberty is security. Freedom is security.

Jesse Ventura

I'm suspicious of full-replacement programs - that is, pronouncements that one way of doing something will entirely supplant another, and that in fact we have to hurry the replacement along.

Nicholson Baker

Benjamin Franklin once said, 'A people who would trade liberty for security deserve neither.' I think we can have both. We can keep our liberties. We can have our security.

Patrick Leahy

I told them that free people always had to decide where to draw the line between their liberty and their security. I noted that the attacks would almost certainly push us as a nation more toward security.

Michael Hayden

Political liberty in a citizen is that tranquillity of spirit which comes from the opinion each one has of his security, and in order for him to have this liberty the government must be such that one citizen cannot fear another citizen.

Baron de Montesquieu
