Benjamin Franklin, being a big man, but still a human. We must not think, that he could comprehend our future problems.<p>Of course he did only talk about his current problems.<p>Still it is a very good quote that deserves to be seen not only in it&#x27;s singular, historical meaning, but also in a wider look.<p>And as we see, we all need a broader look to preserve humanity -- or freedom and humanity will finally perish.
