"That as we enjoy great advantages from..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Take care of the halfpence and pence, and the shillings and pounds will take care of themselves.”

“Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.”

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

“The obvious thing for the cavalryman to do is to accept the fighting machine as a partner, and prepare to meet more fully the demands of future warfare.”

“In science fiction, we dream. In order to colonize in space, to rebuild our cities, which are so far out of whack, to tackle any number of problems, we must imagine the future, including the new technologies that are required.”

“Surely it was time someone invented a new plot, or that the author came out from the bushes.”

“We must not only control the weapons that can kill us, we must bridge the great disparities of wealth and opportunity among the peoples of the world, the vast majority of whom live in poverty without hope, opportunity or choices in life. These conditions are a breeding ground for division that can cause a desperate people to resort to nuclear weapons as a last resort. Our only hope lies in the power of our love, generosity, tolerance and understanding and our commitment to making the world a better place.”

“To generous souls every task is noble.”

“Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.”
