Other Benjamin Franklin quotes:
Many complain of their memory, few of their judgment.
A good spouse and health is a person's best wealth.
Critics are our friends, they show us our faults.
Trouble springs from idleness.
At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; at 40 the judgment.
For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Keep conscience clear, then never fear.
