Top 5 quotes from Benjamin Franklin
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
"Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none."
"Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage."
Top 5 quotes from Freedom
"It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever."
"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing."
"A desire to resist oppression is implanted in the nature of man."
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
"Freedom is the recognition that no single person, no single authority or government has a monopoly on the truth, but that every individual life is infinitely precious, that every one of us put in this world has been put there for a reason and has something to offer."
