"Lying rides upon debt's back...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.”

“He that's content hath enough.”

“Historians relate not so much what is done as what they would have believed.”

“Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth!”

“In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.”

“I read Warren Zevon's bizarre biography, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead." His wife, Crystal Zevon, posthumously published a journal he wrote and some interviews with ex-band members. Like [Keith] Richards's book "Life," it's brutally honest.”

“I think we all know that world owes an enormous debt to Greece and the Greek people.”

“The good people of Dakota offered to give Calvin Coolidge a farm if he would live on it. I wouldn't advise you to give those people too much credit for generosity. There is not a farmer in any State in the West that wouldn't be glad to give him a farm if he will paint it, fix up the fences and keep up the series of mortgages that are on it. And if you think Coolidge ain't smart, you just watch him not take it.”

“No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence.”
