"Let the child's first lesson be obedience,..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty.”

“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.”

“It is dangerous to tell the people that the laws are unjust; for they obey them only because they think them just. Therefore it isnecessary to tell them at the same time that they must obey them because they are laws, just as they must obey superiors, not because they are just, but because they are superiors. In this way all sedition is prevented.”

“On pain of death, no person be so bold.”

“If obedience is the result of the instinct of the masses, revolt is the result of their thought.”

“I think the growth industry of the future in this country and the world will soon be the continuing education of adults. ...I think the educated person of the future is somebody who realizes the need to continue to learn. That is the new definition and it is going to change the world we live in and work in.”

“There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.”

“I think the success of any school can be measured by the contribution the alumni make to our national life.”
