Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Since I cannot govern my own tongue, though within my own teeth, how can I hope to govern the tongue of others?
Benjamin Franklin
Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin
Hereafter, if you should observe an occasion to give your officers and friends a little more praise than is their due, and confess more fault than you can justly be charged with, you will only become the sooner for it, a great captain.
Benjamin Franklin
Life is a kind of chess.
Benjamin Franklin
