Benjamin Franklin
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Benjamin Franklin
When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary.

Benjamin Franklin
Those who are content have enough those that complain, have too much.

Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin
When confronted with two courses of action I jot down on a piece of paper all the arguments in favor of each one, then on the opposite side I write the arguments against each one. Then by weighing the arguments pro and con and cancelling them out, one against the other, I take the course indicated by what remains.
Benjamin Franklin
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone.
Benjamin Franklin
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
Benjamin Franklin
