Ben Franklin quotes ---
When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
