Benjamin Franklin
Your argument is sound, nothing but sound.
Benjamin Franklin
Taxes on consumption, like those on capital or income, to be just, must be uniform.
Benjamin Franklin
If you, do what you should not, you must bear what you would not.
Benjamin Franklin
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
Benjamin Franklin
