QUOTATION FROM BEJAMIN FRANKLIN: Commas?

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin

Regarding the comma after "safety", is it necessary? If so, could you please provide the comma rule for putting the comma there? Thanks.
