Benjamin Franklin
While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.
Benjamin Franklin
A penny saved is twopence dear A pin a day 's a groat a year.
Benjamin Franklin
And where is the Prince who can afford to so cover his country with troops for its defense, as that ten thousand men descending from the clouds, might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief, before a force could be brought together to repel them?
Benjamin Franklin
Teach your child to hold his tongue he'll learn fast enough to speak.
Benjamin Franklin
I think opinions should be judged by their influences and effects and if a man holds none that tend to make him less virtuous or more vicious, it may be concluded that he holds none that are dangerous, which I hope is the case with me.
Benjamin Franklin
Those things that hurt, instruct.
Benjamin Franklin
