In Germany there is a play with words, that does not translate well into other languages, but the saying is:

Die Freiheit stirbt mit Sicherheit.

Prost

I'm not German, but does this roughly mean: Freedom clashes with security?

Yes, but it also means Freedom will die with certainty. "Sicherheit" translates as all of these: security, safety, and certainty
