"You must always be prepared. Make sure..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“When about 16 Years of Age, I happened to meet with a Book written by one Tryon, recommending a Vegetable Diet. I determined to go into it.... My refusing to eat Flesh occasioned an inconveniency, and I was frequently chid for my singularity.”

“There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.”

“Cold & cunning come from the north: But cunning sans wisdom is nothing worth.”

“Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.”

“He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap”

“Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.”

“The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.”

“There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.”

“To establish ourselves in the world, we have to do all we can to appear established. To succeed in the world, we do everything we can to appear successful.”
