How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
To whom you betray your secret you sell your liberty.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Half-wits talk much, but say little.
Benjamin Franklin
Some make Conscience of wearing a Hat in the Church, who make none of robbing the Altar.
Benjamin Franklin
He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
Many dishes many diseases, Many medicines few cures.
Benjamin Franklin
Anger warms the invention, but overheats the oven.
Benjamin Franklin
Dangerous, therefore, is it to take shelter under a tree, during a thunder-gust. It has been fatal to many, both men and beasts.
Benjamin Franklin
