"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. "  

"He that would live in peace & at ease, must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees. "

"The noblest question in the world is 'What Good may I do in it?'"

"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power."

"Wish not so much to live long as to live well. "

"Search others for their virtues, thy self for thy vices. "
 
All by Benjamin Franklin
