For Peregrino:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill

The other, often paraphrased as "Any society which would trade liberty for security loses both and deserves neither," has a long history of contention. It is very often used, makes a great point, but generally appears in a number of phrasings, and is most often attributed to either Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. The most convincing argument comes from Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, which holds: "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety," Benjamin Franklin. (Not as punchy as the revisions, no.)
