"In success be moderate. Humility makes great..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“A [desire] to abolish slavery prevails in North America, many of the Pennsylvanians have set their slaves at liberty, and [Virginia legislators] have petitioned the King for permission to make a law for preventing the importation of more [slaves] into that colony. This request, however, will probably not be granted, as their former laws of that kind have always been repealed.”

“Neither a Fortress nor a Maidenhead will hold out long after they begin to parley.”

“Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.”

“It ain't the heat, it's the humility.”

“The more pride we have, the more other people’s pride irritates us”

“The first Degree of Folly, is to conceit one's self wise; the second to profess it; the third to despise Counsel.”

“Your success, your life, your happiness. Don't let mean people bring that down.”

“In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.”

“Sincerity of conviction and purity of motive will surely gain the day; and even a small minority, armed with these, is surely destined to prevail against all odds.”
