Benjamin Franklin
And where is the Prince who can afford to so cover his country with troops for its defense, as that ten thousand men descending from the clouds, might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief, before a force could be brought together to repel them?
Benjamin Franklin
Where there's no law, there's no bread.
Benjamin Franklin
Praise little, dispraise less.
Benjamin Franklin
Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
Benjamin Franklin
Security without liberty is called prison.
Benjamin Franklin
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
Benjamin Franklin
