Benjamin Franklin

Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.

If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.

Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?

Industry need not wish.

A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.

Little strokes fell great oaks.

Fish and visitors smell after three days.

If you would be loved, love and be lovable.

The way to see faith is to shut our eyes to all of the senses and let our heart see.

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

Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.

God helps them that help themselves.

Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.

Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.

Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is only selling himself to it.

He that is of the opinion money will do everything, may well be suspected of doing everything for money.

The best way to keep your friends is not to give them away.

What signifies knowing the names, if you know not the natures of things?
