Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle.

Benjamin Franklin
By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.
Benjamin Franklin
One day is worth a thousand tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin
We have no poor houses in the Colonies, and if we had, we would have no one to put in them, as in the Colonies there is not a single unemployed man, no poor and no vagabonds.
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin
Anyone willing to give up liberty in exchange for security deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin
