"The used key is always bright...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“If you want something done, ask a busy person.”

“To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes; and this is not the work of a day.”

“To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.”

“The animal is one with its life activity. It does not distinguish the activity from itself. It is its activity. But man makes hislife activity itself an object of his will and consciousness. He has a conscious life activity. It is not a determination with which he is completely identified.”

“An active mind cannot exist in an inactive body.”

“Activity conquers coldness. Stillness conquers heat.”

“Clay is used to make vases, but it is the emptiness they contain that makes them useful.”

“Every industrious man, in every lawful calling, is a useful man. And one principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling, and divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits.”

“Conservation means development as much as it does protection.A man's usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can.”
