:"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both"
Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father.
I hate to nitpick, but I see this all the time and I take issue with two things:
1. The quote is "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety"
2. This statement was made by a diplomat named Richard Jackson and appeared in several works _published_ by Benjamin Franklin.
