I can only recall Ben Franlkin quotes. During the Continental Congress, perhaps talking about the Declaration of Independence, he quipped that if they did not hang together, they would certainly hang apart. A woman in Philadelphia knew that the const'l convention deliberations were over. To gain respect for the document, the framers kept the political stuff quiet.. She approached Franklin and asked what form of govt was proposed. He replied " a republic, if you can keep it."
Ben would have hated the Witnesses. He loved France. Puritans drove him nuts.
I ha ve more from many sources. Thiis is all I can do now. Jesus and Beatle quotes are a specialty. I need a Bible to quote accurately but let me angry with a fundy Christian and then I can quote different translations.
