If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his... - Benjamin Franklin

"He that lives upon hope will die fasting."

"How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!"

"Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody."

"Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing."

"Well done is better than well said."
