Benjamin Franklin
From the brilliant and quotable Mr. Franklin on the 200th anniversary of his birth:
"If you would know the value of money, try to borrow some."
"Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it."
"He is ill clothed who is bare of virtue."
"No man was ever glorious who was not laborious."
"All things are easy to industry. All things are difficult to sloth."
"What is serving God? T'is doing good to man."
"Sin isn't hurtful because it's forbidden. Sin is forbidden because it's hurtful."
"Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults."
And don't forget, "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes you yawn and stretch with bloodshot eyes."
