Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Anger and folly walk cheeck by jowl.
Benjamin Franklin
If you want to be loved, love and be loveable.
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!

Benjamin Franklin
Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin
Men differ daily about things which are subject to sense, is it likely then they should agree about things invisible.
