"Cut the Wings of your Hens and..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“That which resembles most living one's life over again, seems to be to recall all the circumstances of it; and, to render this remembrance more durable, to record them in writing.”

“Avarice and Happiness never saw each other, how then should they become acquainted?”

“The best investment is in the tools of one's own trade.”

“For in grief nothing 'stays put.' One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round.Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral?”

“The golden age is before us, not behind us.”

“Every new day begins with possibilities.”

“We ought not to desire the impossible.”

“Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.”

“An executive should be a realist; and no one is less realistic than the cynic.”
