Benjamin Franklin
Why does the blind man's wife paint herself.
Benjamin Franklin
Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
One Man may be more cunning than another, but not more cunning than every body else.
Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin
The noblest question in the world is: 'What good may I do in it?'

He that won't be counseled can't be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
