"Be at war with your vices, at..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Love and toothache have many cures, but none infallible, except possession and dispossession.”

“The wise and the brave dares own that he was wrong.”

“Don't throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.”

“It seems to me that education has a two-fold function to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culture. Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the ligitimate goals of his life.”

“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.”

“So all that is said of the wise man by Stoic or Oriental or modern essayist, describes to each reader his own idea, describes his unattained but attainable self.”

“Live out your life in truth and justice, tolerant of those who are neither true nor just.”

“The government of freemen is nobler and implies more virtue than despotic government. Neither is a city to be deemed happy or a legislator to be praised because he trains his citizens to conquer and obtain dominion over their neighbors, for there is great evil in this.”

“I believe long habits of virtue have a sensible effect on the countenance.”
