Benjamin Franklin
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin Franklin
I early found that when I worked for myself alone, myself alone worked for me but when I worked for others also, others worked also for me.
Benjamin Franklin
I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, make the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.
Benjamin Franklin
He that would travel much, should eat little.
Benjamin Franklin
