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

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Success is the residue of planning.
Benjamin Franklin
To inquisitive minds like yours and mine the reflection that the quantity of human knowledge bears no proportion to the quantity of human ignorance must be in one view rather pleasing, viz., that though we are to live forever we may be continually amused and delighted with learning something new.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Benjamin Franklin
One Man may be more cunning than another, but not more cunning than every body else.
Benjamin Franklin
The absent are never without fault. Nor the present without excuse.
Benjamin Franklin
There's no gain, without pain.
Benjamin Franklin
