Daily quote |
Benjamin FranklinTricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest. Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease. Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later. We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information. We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. Well done is better than well said. Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it. |
