Benjamin Franklin
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Benjamin Franklin
The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
He that's content hath enough.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
What can laws do without morals?
Benjamin Franklin
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Benjamin Franklin
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?
Benjamin Franklin
