But can we be taught to prize them too much? or how can we prize them equal to their value, if we do not know their intrinsic worth, and that they are not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature?
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Benjamin Franklin
Pain wastes the Body, Pleasures the Understanding.
Benjamin Franklin
Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Benjamin Franklin
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
It's better to swim in the sea below Than to swing in the air and feed the crow, Says jolly Ned Teach of Bristol.
Benjamin Franklin
A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law
