Benjamin Franklin

Creditors have better memories than debtors. ”

One today is worth two tomorrows. ”

It is only when the rich are sick that they fully feel the impotence of wealth. ”

He does not possess wealth; it possesses him. ”

Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. ”

A place for everything, everything in its place. ”

When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration? ”

If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles. ”

Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease. ”

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. ”
