Benjamin Franklin
Trusting too much to others care is the ruin of many.

Benjamin Franklin

Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
A man is not completely born until he is dead. Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals, a new member added to their happy society?
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
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Benjamin Franklin
If better is possible, good is not enough
