"When you taste honey, remember gall...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.”

“We may perhaps learn to deprive large masses of their gravity and give them absolute levity, for the sake of easy transport.”

“Great good nature without prudence is a great misfortune.”

“If thou hast wit and learning, add to it wisdom and modesty.”

“I don't go around thinking I'm Ray Bradbury all the time.”

“Pardon, gentles all, the flat unraised spirits that have dared on this unworthy scaffold to bring forth so great an object.”

“It is in times of difficulty that great nations like great men display the whole energy of their character and become an object of admiration to posterity.”

“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

“Calm seas never made a good sailor”
