Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.
Benjamin Franklin
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Benjamin Franklin
The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Here's to our beloved George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still - and they obeyed.
Benjamin Franklin
Much Virtue in Herbs, little in Men.
Benjamin Franklin
He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
He that's secure is not safe.
