Benjamin Franklin
Cheese and salt meat, should be sparingly eat.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Let thy discontents be thy secrets
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
Benjamin Franklin
Christianity commands us to pass by injuries policy, to let them pass by us.
Benjamin Franklin
Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist.
Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
Much Virtue in Herbs, little in Men.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst.
Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
Benjamin Franklin
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Benjamin Franklin
