Benjamin Franklin
When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.
Benjamin Franklin
Life's Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Benjamin Franklin
A man is not completely born until he is dead. Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals, a new member added to their happy society?
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Benjamin Franklin
Governments having failed the people, the people are entirely justified in assuming for themselves an essential role in government. Where a government takes proper measures to protect the people under its care, such a proceeding might have been thought both unnecessary and unjustifiable: But here it is quite the Reverse.
Benjamin Franklin
A man separated from his reflective belt is no man at all.
Benjamin Franklin
We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.
Benjamin Franklin
The borrower is a slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't cry over spilled milk
