"Where there is a free government, and..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

“Pride is said to be the last vice the good man gets clear of.”

“Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's; a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.”

“Oh, if only I could be President and Congress, too, just for ten minutes.”

“When you start talking about government as 'we' instead of 'they,' you have been in office too long.”

“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”

“No matter what theory of the origin of government you adopt, if you follow it out to its legitimate conclusions it will bring you face to face with the moral law.”

“The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. Virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.”

“The beginning as well as the end of all his thoughts was hatred of human law, that hatred which, if it be not checked in its growth by some providential event, becomes, in a certain time, hatred of society, then hatred of the human race, and then hatred of creation, and reveals itself by a vague and incessant desire to injure some living being, it matters not who.”
