Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
To the haranguers of the populace among the ancients, succeed among the moderns your writers of political pamphlets and news-papers, and your coffee-house talkers.
Benjamin Franklin
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
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
A full Belly makes a dull Brain: The Muses starve in a Cook's Shop.
