"He that's secure is not safe...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state.”

“From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the 'Pilgrim's Progress,' my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.”

“We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

“Democracy means that when there's a knock in the door at 3 am, it's probably the milkman.”

“A low wage business is always insecure.”

“Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.”

“Was there no safety? No learning by heart of the ways of the world? No guide, no shelter, but all was miracle, and leaping from the pinnacle of a tower into the air? Could it be, even for elderly people, that this was life?--startling, unexpected, unknown?”

“As if there were safety in stupidity alone”

“Knowledge is power...knowled ge is safety...knowle dge is happiness.”
