The best way to see Faith is to shut the eye of Reason. - Benjamin Franklin

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

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

"The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything."

"He that lives upon hope will die fasting."

"Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances."
