Benjamin Franklin

Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.

To err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.

The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance.

Never confuse motion with action.

Haste makes waste.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.

Lost time is never found again.

Rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt.

The best way to keep a secret is to never tell anyone.

Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.

Contentment makes poor men rich, discontent makes rich men poor.

He that lives upon hope will die fasting.

If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.

It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.

The U.S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.

Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God.

When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.

I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
