"Mine is better than ours...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Take one thing with another, and the world is a pretty good sort of a world, and it is our duty to make the best of it, and be thankful.”

“There will be sleeping enough in the grave.”

“One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.”

“...if all we mean by our love is a craving to be loved, we are in a very deplorable state.”

“I have the feeling that he would rather see a good cause fail than succeed if he were not the head of it.”

“Some philosophers tell us that selfishness is at the root of our best loves and affections. Mr. Dombey's young child was, from the beginning, so distinctly important to him as a part of his own greatness, or (which is the same thing) of the greatness of Dombey and Son, that there is no doubt his parental affection might have been easily traced, like many a goodly superstructure of fair fame, to a very low foundation.”

“What a man does not understand, he does not possess.”

“To model an object is to possess it.”

“I have, I believe, the courage to doubt everything; I have, I believe, the courage to fight against everything; but I do not have the courage to acknowledge anything, the courage to possess, to own anything.”
