About this Quote

This quote by Benjamin Franklin speaks with the idea that there is an ethical obligation that binds us together in the work of the world. He recommends that this obligation is similar to the spiritual sanction that binds individuals together in faith. Simply put, there is a moral code that we should all adhere to in order to work together in consistency. This code is not always religious in nature, however it is a code of principles that we must all follow in order to collaborate successfully. Franklin is recommending that we must all acknowledge this ethical responsibility and work together in order to attain our objectives. He is highlighting the value of partnership and cooperation in order to make the world a better location. By acknowledging this ethical responsibility, we can collaborate to produce a better future for all.
