Walter Cronkite: Benjamin Franklin

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Benjamin Franklin : How I wish for a day when words will fly across the sea at the speed of lightning, and not wait these long, interminable months at sea. I worry over much about the colonies, I hope. But I fear that this tense situation is headed for confrontation, not compromise.. I fear for my friends and my allies. I fear for Moses without whom my life at home could not go on. I fear for James, Sarah, and Henri - the young ones in my charge. This is no time to be bored and brash. But try to tell that to youthful souls caught up in the passion of the times. In the end, no man or woman can remain neutral. There's a day of reckoning coming, and nothing I can do will prevent it.
