Ben Franklin — One Smart Fellow

11.12.07 | Comment?

“And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? or do we imagine we no longer need its assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?”

— Benjamin Franklin (Motion for Prayers in the Constitutional Convention, 28 June 1787)
