I know some say, let us have good laws, and no matter for the men that execute them: but let them consider, that though good laws do well, good men do better: for good laws may want good men, and be abolished or evaded [invaded in Franklin's print] by ill men; but good men will never want good laws, nor suffer ill ones.

I recognized that there are some well-known, little understood, and seldom practiced laws that we must live by if we wish to find peace within or without.
