i left a comment about the origin of that saying in the cross-post of this thread. (i think the privacy/security/achieve version you posted is much better than the original one which said “deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”.)

I’d avoided the exact quote for the reasons in your comment, but it works so well in this context that it’s tough to let go of entirely. Glad you didn’t just see it as a misquote! Nice work helping to keep the record straight.
