Bonus points if you can name the people whose quotes are represented in at least half of these.

>9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

The actual quote is "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

This quote is usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin. It was first published anonymously, however, and Franklin never claimed authorship. So while Franklin is generally believed to be the author, that is not a certainty.
