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
No longer virtuous no longer free is a Maxim as true with regard to a private Person as a Common-wealth.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
