Benjamin Franklin
Genius is the ability to hold one's vision steady until it becomes reality
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

Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
Benjamin Franklin
A man is not completely born until he is dead. Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals, a new member added to their happy society?
Benjamin Franklin
Trouble Springs From Idleness.
