How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts! - Benjamin Franklin

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

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

"The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance."

"The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn't know how to read."

"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
