“There seem to be but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth. The first is by war, as the Romans did, in plundering their conquered neighbours. This is robbery. The second by commerce, which is generally cheating.

—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold.”
