| �A man wrapped up in himself is a very small bundle.�
�The body of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Printer, Like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out, and stript of its lettering and gilding, lies here food for worms; Yet the work itself shall not be lost, For it will (as he believed) appear once more in a new and more beautiful edition Corrected and amended by the Author.� (written many years before his death) �Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.� �Eat to live, not live to eat.� [the 1733 Poor Richard�s Almanac] �God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.� �He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.� �I am what I am and that's all that I am and if I'm supposed to be somebody else, why do I look like me?� �I will venture to lay it down for an infallible rule, that, if two persons equal in judgment play for a considerable sum, he that loves money the most shall lose; his anxiety for the success of the game confounds him.� [Journal of a Voyage, 1726] �If a man empties a purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.� �If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty.� |
