I know this has probably been posted a “million” times, but I think some old guy once said this:

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”

I believe his name was Ben Franklin...

Are we now a nation of cowards?

Other quotes you may have heard: "Give me liberty or give me death" and "Live free or die".
