Benjamin Franklin

Well done is better than well said. ”

I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand. ”

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man. ”

He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees. ”

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price. ”

There was never a good war, or a bad peace. ”

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness. ”

He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too. ”

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

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