"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? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings, that 'except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.'"
Benjamin Franklin, 1787
-------------------------
N.B. - I live 10 minutes away from B. Franklin's historical house and grave. It's one of the tourists' attractions in the historic city of Philadelphia.
Welcome everyone to Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love.
