"The same man cannot be both Friend..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“A man separated from his reflective belt is no man at all.”

“The used key is always bright.”

“Here's to our beloved George Washington, the Joshua of America, who commanded the sun and the moon to stand still - and they obeyed.”

“But a man's best friend is the one who not only wishes him well but wishes it for his own sake (even though nobody will ever know it): and this condition is best fulfilled by his attitude towards himself - and similarly with all the other attributes that go to define a friend. For we have said before that all friendly feelings for others are extensions of a man's feelings for himself.”

“Your enemies can kill you, but only your friends can hurt you.”

“In the misfortunes of our best friends we always find something not altogether displeasing to us.”

“I think we never become really and genuinely our entire and honest selves until we are dead--and not then until we have been dead years and years. People ought to start dead, and they would be honest so much earlier.”

“Before speaking, consult your inner-truth barometer, and resist the temptation to tell people only what they want to hear.”

“Politics, as a trade, finds most and leaves nearly all dishonest.”
