A Quote by Thomas Jefferson

Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither. — © Thomas Jefferson
Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.
Those who would trade in their freedom for their protection deserve neither.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.
People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
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.
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.
Those who would give up their civil liberties for security deserve neither.
If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one
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.
And to those who would choose the safety of inaction over the danger of taking a stand, I have this to say: You bloody cowards. May you have the world that you deserve.
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
People who are willing to give up freedom for the sake of short term security, deserve neither freedom nor security.
If you give up freedom to get security, you deserve neither.
When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.
I would like people to remember that I kept the peace when I was president and I worked for peace, that I espoused human rights in its broadest definition, not only freedom of speech but freedom of assembly, freedom of worship and trial by jury but also the right of people for people to have a decent home to live, food to eat, employment, healthcare, self respect, dignity. So I think the broad gamut of human rights, peace and freedom. I would like to be remembered for those things to the degree that I deserve it and I still have a long way to go.
