Franklin's Non-Quote About Security and Liberty

Dear Jerry,

I have a suggestion for the Statesmen Quote of the Day:

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

It's disputed, but the general agreement is that this was coined by Benjamin Franklin.

Regards,
Jim
