The above is close; the main points are "essential liberty" and "a little 
temporary safety".

In the meantime, perhaps some, umm, US patriot could tell me who authored 
these particular aphorisms:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of 
patriots and tyrants."

"The Tree of Islam has to be watered with the blood of martyrs."

I'm having trouble seeing the difference.
