"Those who would trade in their freedom..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Willows are weak, but they bind the Faggot.”

“Handle your tools without mittens.”

“Here's to our beloved George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still - and they obeyed.”

“If everyone would paint, political re-education would be unnecessary.”

“I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.”

“Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.”

“Beware of the words "internal security," for they are the eternal cry of the oppressor.”

“We are constituted a good deal like chickens, which, taken from the hen, and put in a basket of cotton in the chimney-corner, willoften peep till they die, nevertheless; but if you put in a book, or anything heavy, which will press down the cotton, and feel like the hen, they go to sleep directly.”

“It is my belief that industry and government around the world should work even more closely to protect the privacy and security of Internet users, and promote the exchange of ideas, while respecting legitimate government considerations.”
