"A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?”

“Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.”

“If you want to be rich, think of the savings and get them.”

“It is a misnomer to call a government republican in which a branch of the supreme power is independent of the nation.”

“Instead of an aristocracy of wealth, of more harm and danger than benefit to society, to make an opening for the aristocracy of virtue and talent, which nature has wisely provided for the direction of the interests of society and scattered with equal hand through all its conditions, was deemed essential to a well-ordered republic.”

“A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.”

“But obviously a state which becomes progressively more and more of a unity will cease to be a state at all. Plurality of numbers is natural in a state; and the farther it moves away from plurality towards unity, the less of a state it becomes and the more a household, and the household in turn an individual.”

“I have not hesitated to call the system of Government under which we are labouring 'satanic' and I withdraw naught out of it.”

“Laws always lose in energy what the government gains in extent.”
