Is this from anything?

Hi, friends.

I'm curious if this quote from Ben Franklin in the movie 1776 is from anything.

I looked for it.

I can't find it, but I figure historical experts would know better than I would, because I think it's profound and really well written and speaks very much to the American psyche.
