"There was great difference in persons; and..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“If any man flatters me, I'll flatter him again; tho' he were my best Friend.”

“That Quantity that is sufficient, the Stomach can perfectly concoct and digest, and it sufficeth the due Nourishment of the Body.”

“Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith.”

“One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Only through the bringing together of head and heart-intelligence and goodness-shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.”

“He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear; he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.”

“Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.”

“When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.”

“The older a fool is, the worse he is.”

“When I'm older I'll understand" said Lucy, " I am older and I don't think I want to understand", replied Edmund”
