"Silence is not always a sign of..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.”

“But in this world nothing is sure but death and taxes.[Fr., Mais dons ce monde, il n'y a rien d'assure que le mort et les impots.]”

“In success be moderate.”

“In speaking, it is best to be clear and say just enough to convey the meaning.”

“It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.”

“Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.”

“Silence is a source of great strenght.”

“No, I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.”

“Where the lips are silent the heart has a thousand tongues.”
