dhlos, my friend....try Benjamin Franklin...who said....
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." It was written sometime before February 17, 1775....as part of his notes for a proposition before the Pennsylvania Assembly..

Later on a couple words were changed [[Those who WOULD give up Essential Liberty to PURCHASE a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.]] and it was used as a motto on the title page of the book..."An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania". written in 1759 by Richard Jackson and published by Franklin...(who did take credit for some small passages in the book)
