Things have gone so far liberty indeed becomes almost a mockery since it can be purchased only by the sacrifice of most of the good things of this Earth in this state it is little surprising that more and more people should come to feel that without economic security liberty is not worth having and that they are willing to sacrifice their liberty for security...

....Security outside the market and competition be left to function unobstructed some security is essential if freedom is to be preserved because most men are willing to bear the risk which freedom inevitably involves only so long as that risk is not too great but while this is a truth of which we must never lose sight nothing is more fatal than the present fashion among intellectual leaders of extolling security at the expense of freedom it is essential that we should return frankly to face the fact that freedom can be had only at a price and that as individuals we must be prepared to make severe material sacrifices to preserve our liberty

-Hayek
