Benjamin Franklin Quotes:
A good conscience is a continual Christmas
A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write something worth reading or do things worth the writing.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Who is wise? He that learns from every One.
Who is powerful? He that governs his Passions.
Who is rich? He that is content.
Who is that? Nobody.
But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Wish not so much to live long as to live well.
