Benjamin Franklin
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Benjamin Franklin
Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
Mankind are dastardly when they meet with opposition.
Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
Benjamin Franklin
