When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.

Benjamin Franklin
It might be judged an affront to your understanding should I go about to prove this first principle the existence of a Diety and that He is the Creator of the universe, for that would suppose you ignorant of what all mankind in all ages have agreed in.
Benjamin Franklin
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin
The only time not wasted is wasted time.
Benjamin Franklin
Three things are men most likely to be cheated in, a horse, a wig, and a wife.
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!
Benjamin Franklin
I think with you, that nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. Wise and good men are in my opinion, the strength of the state more so than riches or arms.
Benjamin Franklin
He's a fool that makes his doctor his heir.
Benjamin Franklin
