"Industry need not wish...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece; but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.”

“The same man cannot be both Friend and Flatterer.”

“You will find the key to success under the alarm clock.”

“People say sometimes, "You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world." I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.”

“Industrial combination is not wrong in itself. The danger lies in taking government into partnership.”

“Without industry and frugality, nothing will do; with them, everything.”

“Education isn't play--and it can't be made to look like play. It is hard, hard work. But it can be made interesting work.”

“I worked my face off.”

“By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was; indulgent never. Kind, yes, permissive, never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.”
