They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little

temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator 

with certain inalienable rights,
among these are life, liberty, 

and the pursuit of happiness.
-  Thomas Jefferson

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph
is for enough good men to do nothing.

-  Edmund Burke
