"Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty,..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“A quarrelsome man has no good neighbours.”

“Pain wastes the Body, Pleasures the Understanding.”

“A bargain is something you have to find a use for once you have bought it.”

“There is not a manufacturer or tradesman in existence, who would not employ a man who takes a reasonable degree of pride in the appearance of himself and those about him, in preference to a sullen, slovenly fellow, who works doggedly on, regardless of his own clothing and that of his wife and children, and seeming to take pleasure or pride in nothing.”

“As for what I have done as a poet, I take no pride in whatever. Excellent poets have lived at the same time with me, poets more excellent lived before me, and others will come after me. But that in my country I am the only person who knows the truth in the difficult science of colors-of that, I say, I am not a little proud, and here have a consciousness of superiority to many.”

“Always try to be modest, and be proud of it!”

“There is an ancient script that says, 'He that wishes to be ignorant, let him be ignorant.' But I took off the last word and it now reads for me like this: He that wishes to be ignorant, let him be!”

“As he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.”

“The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.”
