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 Government
"When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right."
"The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry."
"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
"Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things."
"Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all."
