Benjamin Franklin

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

God helps those who help themselves.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.

In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Well done is better than well said.

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.

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.

If you would be loved, love and be amiable.
