O Lazy bones! Dost thou think God would have given thee arms and legs, if he had not design'd thou should'st use them?
Benjamin Franklin
There's no gain, without pain.
Benjamin Franklin
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
