Quote of the Day - Benjamin Franklin

"We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately." - Benjamin Franklin
Sticking with a Fourth of July theme. I've always loved this quote because Ben Franklin said it right after he signed the Decleration of Independence on July 4, 1776. He understood that what the men were doing was treasonous.

At the same time, he understood that what the men were doing was right. He was willing to risk his life for something he believed in, but knew it would take teamwork and commitment to do it. All great causes require sacrafice, teamwork, and commitment. Nothing extraordinary has ever been achieved without it.
