Benjamin Franklin
Everybody's human-everybody makes mistakes. If you laugh it off and keep going and try to give it your best the next time around, people respect that.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.
Benjamin Franklin
Take time for all things.
Benjamin Franklin
Nature performs the cure, the physician takes the fee.

Benjamin Franklin
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Benjamin Franklin
Thank God! we are in the full enjoyment of all these privileges. But can we be taught to prize them too much? or how can we prize them equal to their value, if we do not know their intrinsic worth, and that they are not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature?
Benjamin Franklin
Take it from Richard, poor and lame, What's begun in anger ends in shame.
Benjamin Franklin
Poverty, Poetry, and new Titles of Honor, make Men ridiculous
Benjamin Franklin
When confronted with two courses of action I jot down on a piece of paper all the arguments in favor of each one, then on the opposite side I write the arguments against each one. Then by weighing the arguments pro and con and cancelling them out, one against the other, I take the course indicated by what remains.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief. ... For want of a nail, the shoe was lost for want of a shoe, the horse was lost for want of a horse, the battle was lost for want of the battle, the war was lost.
Benjamin Franklin
Content makes poor men rich discontent makes rich men poor.
Benjamin Franklin
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
