Without freedom
How can one feel safe?
Act with wisdom
Or become a slave
Noah packed up
While others jeered
Building was tough
But freedom neared
The pioneers
Left the known behind
Despite the tears
They'd freedom to find
What is security
And a comfortable life
Without liberty
And faith to help you strive
The World Needs Pioneers Today
We forget how the Greeks and Romans prevailed magnificently in a barbaric world and how that triumph ended—how a slackness and softness finally overcame them to their ruin. In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and a comfortable life; and they lost all—comfort and security and freedom. http://www.lds.org/liahona/2013/07/the-world-needs-pioneers-today?lang=eng
Liberty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He who sacrifices freedom for security will soon have neither.- Ben Franklin
Those who would give up Essential Liberty
to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. |
