"Be not niggardly of what costs thee..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.”

“They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.”

“As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own ... freely and gladly.”

“Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.”

“We can benefit others through our actions by being warm and generous toward them, by being charitable, and by helping those in need.”

“You often say, "I would give, but only to the deserving." The trees in your orchard say not so, nor the flocks in your pasture. They give that they may live, for to withhold is to perish.”

“Please proceed, Governor.”

“When restraint and courtesy are added to strength, the latter becomes irresistible.”

“There is no outward sign of true courtesy that does not rest on a deep moral foundation.”
