Benjamin Franklin
Wink at small faults remember thou hast great ones.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Benjamin Franklin
It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
You will discover 3 trustworthy mates, an aged wife, an aged canine, and ready dollars.
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Benjamin Franklin
No nation was ever ruined by trade.
Benjamin Franklin
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
Beware of meat twice boiled, and an old foe reconciled.
Benjamin Franklin
whatever you become be good at it
