"A good example is the best sermon...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“One mend-fault is worth two find-faults, but one find-fault is better than two make-faults.”

“Hope of gain lessens pain.”

“It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.”

“Do something good and someone might imitate it.”

“Lectures often confuse our kids, but the example we set is crystal clear.”

“It is not your role to make others happy, it is your role to keep yourself in balance. When you pay attention to how you feel and practice self-empowering thoughts that align with who you really are, you will offer an example of thriving that will be of tremendous value to those who have the benefit of observing you.”

“Friendship (as the ancients saw) can be a school of virtue, but also (as they did not see) a school of vice. It is ambivalent. It makes good men better and bad men worse.”

“The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.”

“Confront your inadequacies and push your personal boundaries: It's the surest way to grow, improve and expand the scope of your influence.”
