Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.
Benjamin Franklin
Drive your business. Let not your business drive you.
Benjamin Franklin
Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.
Benjamin Franklin
Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.

Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
