Benjamin Franklin
Without industry and frugality, nothing will do with them, everything.
Benjamin Franklin
Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.
