Time eateth all things, could old poets say, The times are chang'd, our times drink all away.
Benjamin Franklin
Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Lost time is never found again, and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.
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. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.
Benjamin Franklin
Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Benjamin Franklin
Genius is the ability to hold one's vision steady until it becomes reality
Benjamin Franklin
Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.
Benjamin Franklin
I am lord of myself, accountable to none.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
Benjamin Franklin
It is the duty of mankind on all suitable occasions to acknowledge their dependence on the Divine Being.
Benjamin Franklin
