"God helps them that help themselves...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Industry pays debts, while despair increases them.”

“Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.”

“The two most beautiful sights I have witnessed in my life are a full blown ship at sail and the round-bellied pregnant female.”

“Your success and happiness lie in you.”

“I created myself. I have taught myself so much.”

“Insist on yourself. Never imitate.”

“Success supposes endeavour.”

“It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.”

“I believe that persistent effort, supported by a character-based foundation, will enable you to get more of the things money will buy and all of the things money won't buy.”
