Benjamin Franklin
Suspicion may be no fault, but showing it may be a great one.
Benjamin Franklin
The first mistake in public business is the going into it.
Benjamin Franklin
If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practised it on one another.
