That Barry Goldwater one about extremism in the defense of liberty is the most obvious example.

The Ben Franklin one about giving up liberty for security is kind of a special case, it was pretty valid during the Bush years with the PATRIOT Act and all but got overused to the point of losing all meaning with the way it is now with the teabaggers using it against every single thing Obama does and people who whined crazy about the TSA.
