"Time is the stuff life is made..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“He that spends a Groat a day idly, spends idly above 6 l. a year, which is the Price of using 100 l.”

“The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess; which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.”

“He that resolves to mend hereafter, resolves not to mend now.”

“The early morning has gold in its mouth.”

“Time is like a river made up of the events which happen, and a violent stream; for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried away, and another comes in its place, and this will be carried away too.”

“As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.”

“There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.”

“Life is a zero sum game.”

“The man who sees two or three generations is like one who sits in the conjuror's booth at a fair, and sees the same tricks two or three times. They are meant to be seen only once.”
