"He that can take rest is greater..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Praise to the undeserving is severe satire.”

“Those who give up their liberty for more security neither deserve liberty nor security.”

“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.”

“I noticed, as I had done before, that there was a lull among the mosquitoes about midnight, and that they began again in the morning. Nature is thus merciful. But apparently they need rest as well as we.”

“I think a nap or a rest overnight is great. But who needs three days of rest? Please! The second day, you might die.”

“Diligence is a good thing, but taking things easy is much more restful.”

“Temperance and bravery, then, are ruined by excess and deficiency, but preserved by the mean.”

“If you neglect to exercise self-control, you are not only likely to injure others, but you are sure to injure yourself!”

“Never anger made good guard for itself.”
