“Wine is the source of the greatest evils among communities. It causes diseases, quarrels, seditions, idleness, aversion to labor, and family disorders. . . . It is a species of poison that causes madness. It does not make a man die, but it degrades him into a brute. Men may preserve their health and vigor without wine; with wine they run the risk of ruining their health and losing their morals.” MenMayDoeRunningDiesEvilCausesCommunityMoralRiskSourceDiseaseLosingLaborMadnessWineSpeciesPreservesPoisonDisorderIdlenessQuarrelsBrutesVigorDegradeAversion Author:Francois Fenelon

We may learn how to remove gravity from large masses, and float them over great distances. Agriculture will double its produce with less labor. All diseases will surely be cured... even old age. If only the moral sciences could be improved as well. Perhaps men would cease to be wolves to one another... and human beings could learn to be human.” IfsMenYearsHumansWellsMayMatterAgeBornHuman BeingsMoralImagineProgressProduceDiseaseMassHundredLaborDistanceSorryCeaseOld AgeRemoveGravityAgricultureFloatsRapids Author:Benjamin Franklin
