Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania Assembly, November 11, 1755    
   

 







What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?  It is not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army.  These are not our reliance against a resumption of tryanny in our fair land.  All of them may be turned against our liberties, without making us stronger or weaker for the struggle.  Our reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted in our bosoms.  Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of all men, in all lands, every where.  Destroy this spirit, and you have planted the seeds of despotism at your own doors.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, speech at Edwardsville, Illinois,
September 11, 1858
