"The Constitution only gives people the right..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Genius is the ability to hold one's vision steady until it becomes reality”

“Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure; nothing more bondage than too much liberty.”

“I would advise you to read with a pen in your hand and enter in a little book short hints of what you feel that is common or that may be useful; for this will be the best method of imprinting such portcullis in your memory.”

“Happiness is found in the absence of expectation and a continuous focus on appreciation.”

“We talk about taking "pleasure in a thing": but in truth it is pleasure in ourselves, mediated by a thing.”

“You'll never see a happy ungrateful person.”

“... the community suffers nothing very terrible if its cobblers are bad and become degenerate and pretentious; but if the Guardians of its laws and constitution, who alone have the opportunity to bring it good government and prosperity, become a mere sham, then clearly it is completely ruined.”

“When you hang a man, you better look at him.”

“There is no use saying you chose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up.”
