Benjamin Franklin
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes and this is not the work of a day.
Benjamin Franklin
Tomorrow, every Fault is to be amended but that Tomorrow never comes.
Benjamin Franklin
If you'd lose a troublesome visitor, lend him money.
