“Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither”


Here’s my response to that vague generalization:

“Those who sacrifice common sense for perceived liberty possess neither.” (me)

This is better:

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” — Wendell Phillips

Even better:

“God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” — Daniel Webster (1834)
