"Grace thou thy house and let not..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Nor is it of much Importance to us to know the Manner in which Nature executes her laws; 'tis enough to know the Laws themselves.”

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

“There is nothing wrong with retirement as long as one doesn't allow it to interfere with one's work.”

“Wink at small faults; remember thou hast great ones.”

“A root is a flower that disdains fame.”

“I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.”

“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.”

“A home kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.”

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
