Benjamin Franklin

Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

Well done is better than well said.

He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows nor judge all he sees.

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.
