Benjamin Franklin
To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
A ship under sail and a big-bellied woman, Are the handsomest two things that can be seen common.
Benjamin Franklin
Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
A good spouse and health is a person's best wealth.
Benjamin Franklin
We are not so sensible of the greatest Health as of the least Sickness.
Benjamin Franklin
