That is simple. In the Colonies we issue our own money. It is called Colonial Scrip. We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers. In this manner creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay.

I think also, that general virtue is more probably to be expected and obtained from the education of youth, than from exhortations of adult persons; bad habits and vices of the mind being, like diseases of the body, more easily prevented than cured. I think moreover, that talents for the education of youth are the gift of God; and that he on whom they are bestowed, whenever a way is opened for use of them, is as strongly called as if he heard a voice from heaven.

A quarrelsome man has no good...

A quarrelsome man has no good neighbours.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Behold the rain which descend...

Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.

Your best investment is to pour your purse into your head, and no one can take it away from you.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

When men differ in opinion, both sides ought equally to have the advantage of being heard by the public; when Truth and Error have fair play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter.

One of the greatest tragedies of life is the murder of a beautiful theory by a gang of brutal facts.

In success be moderate. Humility makes great men twice honourable.
