When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary.

Benjamin Franklin
Temperance puts wood on the fire, meal in the barrel, flour in the tub, money in the purse, credit in the country, contentment in the house, clothes on the back, and vigor in the body.
Benjamin Franklin
He that doth what he should not, shall feel what he would not.
Benjamin Franklin
