Philadelphia, PA…A Bit of Wisdom for today from my favorite founding father. Considered the first American by many. He also through his writings and Poor Richard’s Almanac created the uniquely American identity.

You left out some relevant ones:
“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” (proposed by Franklin for the motto of the Great Seal of the United States)
“Every man…is, of common right, and by the laws of God, a freeman, and entitled to the free enjoyment of liberty.”
“Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
“Ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation to the prejudice and oppression of another is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy…An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.”
Donald Trump would make Benjamin Franklin puke.
You would have dinner.
Donald, like you^^^^^is a pusssy.
