"A child thinks 20 shillings and 20..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Friends and neighbors complain that taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might the more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly.”

“When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.”

“All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.”

“Young people ought not to be idle, it is very bad for them.”

“But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight.”

“Don't waste your youth growing up.”

“No gold-digging for me; I take diamonds! We may be off the gold standard someday.”

“Comedy pays the bills if I can't find a film.”

“It's easier to create money than to spend it.”
