INDEPENDENCE DAY!

"And for the support of this Declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually affirm our oath and pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor!"

Benjamin Franklin -
"Here is my creed: I believe in one God, the Creator of the universe. That he governs it by his providence. That he ought to be worshipped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental points in all sound religion."

Benjamin Franklin-
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

PLATO-
"The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men."
