Couple Franklin Quotes



I took this picture by twisting a Franklin into the sun. Here are a couple quotes from Benjamin Franklin:

When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.

Sell not...liberty to purchase power.

I hope...that all mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war or a bad peace.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty or safety...

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
