A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin

Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise

When the well is dry, people know the worth of water. [so appreciate what you have while you have it]

No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state.

He that would fish, must venture his bait.

Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

Before you consult your fancy, consult your purse.
