Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us.

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
People who are wrapped up in themselves make small packages.
Benjamin Franklin
The busy man has few idle visitors to the boiling pot the flies come not.
