It's from Montesquieu's 'Spirit of the Laws' where he writes: "The political liberty of the subject is a tranquillity of mind arising from the opinion each person has of his safety. In order to have this liberty, it is requisite the government be so constituted as one man need not be afraid of another."

This is similar by Thomas Jefferson:
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty."
