Smart Guy That Ben Franklin

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”

Isn’t this exactly what’s happening to the world now? Governments care so much for our safety they find it essential to remove our Liberties. Can’t argue with safety can we?

A few more:

“Security without Liberty is called prison”

“Make yourselves sheep and the wolves will eat you”

“War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide for yourself”

“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority”

“Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords”

“In free government the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors and sovereigns”

“When you are good to others, you are best to yourself”
