Secrecy is the freedom tyrants dream of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The precondition to freedom is security.
Liberty is security. Freedom is security.
Secrecy is what is known, but not to everyone. Privacy is what allows us to keep what we know to ourselves.
We must plan for freedom, and not only for security, if for no other reason than that only freedom can make security secure.
Secrecy is the first essential in affairs of state.
Politicians often claim secrecy is necessary for good governance or national security.
The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.
The spread of freedom is the best security for the free.
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
Secrecy is the foundation of politics.
