Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical pretenders to religion or by the openly profane?

A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law.
Benjamin Franklin
He does not possess wealth it possesses him.
Benjamin Franklin
Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.
Benjamin Franklin
