Benjamin Franklin
He's a fool who cannot conceal his wisdom.
Benjamin Franklin
No gains without pains.
Benjamin Franklin
Hold your Council before Dinner the full Belly hates Thinking as well as Acting.
Benjamin Franklin
As often as we do good, we sacrifice.
Benjamin Franklin
By playing at Chess then, we may learn... First: Foresight. Second: Circumspection. Third: Caution.

Paintings and fightings are best seen at a distance.
Benjamin Franklin
He who multiplies riches multiplies cares.
Benjamin Franklin
