More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
There is no little enemy
Benjamin Franklin
Grief for a dead Wife, and a troublesome Guest, Continues to the threshold, and there is at rest But I mean such wives as are none of the best
Benjamin Franklin
That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.
Benjamin Franklin

All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing, and improving. They do that by asking WHY. After all, the person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be the boss.
Benjamin Franklin
Reckless youth makes rueful age.
