Benjamin Franklin
There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharoah - get first all the people's money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever.
Benjamin Franklin
What signifies knowing the Names, if you know not the Natures of things.
