The Goodness Party has highlighted 33 quotes from Benjamin Franklin over the past five weeks. Each quote has been introduced with Benjamin Franklin’s wisdom for US (each of us and the United States) and Benjamin Franklin’s call to action for US.
This post (and the next four) recaps Franklin’s wisdom for us.
We should all heed Franklin’s wisdom, learn from them, and apply them.
Wisdom for US on image:
“Our freedom in the United States of America depends on our goodness as individuals, as a people, and as a nation. Never take our freedom for granted.
Do goodness every day.
Goodness of government and of its leaders are critical for the happiness of its citizens.
Recognize the strong connection between godliness and doing goodness for all.
Beware of mixing both power and money in the same position.
Virtue is necessary for happiness.”
