Just as the Security Council was largely irrelevant to the great struggle of the last half of the twentieth century - freedom against Communism - so too it is largely on the sidelines in our contemporary struggles against international terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain't.

I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives.

We must plan for freedom and not only for security if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.

Many will view the compromises that will be made during your negotiations as painful concessions. But why not view them as peace offerings ones that will provide in return the priceless gifts of hope security and freedom for our children and our children's?

The spread of freedom is the best security for the free.

The magic of America is that we're a free and open society with a mixed population. Part of our security is our freedom.

The precondition to freedom is security.

Human beings the world over need freedom and security that they may be able to realize their full potential.

Liberals it has been said are generous with other peoples' money except when it comes to questions of national survival when they prefer to be generous with other people's freedom and security.
