"Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“God works wonders now and then; Behold a lawyer, an honest man.”

“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.”

“He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner.”

“But labor of the hands, even when pursued to the verge of drudgery, is perhaps never the worst form of idleness. It has a constantand imperishable moral, and to the scholar it yields a classic result.”

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

“An industrious farmer occupies a more dignified place in the scale of beings...than a lazy lounger...too proud to work, and drawing out a miserable existence by eating on that surplus of other men's labor.”

“Mind your till, and till your mind.”

“Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.”

“If you rest too long the weeds take the garden.”
