"The noblest question in the world is:..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“The foundation of all happiness in thinking rightly.”

“A full Belly makes a dull Brain: The Muses starve in a Cook's Shop.”

“Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.”

“A very good career choice would be to gravitate toward those activities and to embrace those desires that harmonize with your core intentions, which are freedom and growth - and joy. Make a 'career' of living a happy life rather than trying to find work that will produce enough income that you can do things with your money that will then make you happy. When feeling happy is of paramount importance to you - and what you do 'for a living' makes you happy - you have found the best of all combinations.”

“I think there are school teachers who are on the exact same mission as me.”

“We came to America, either ourselves or in the persons of our ancestors, to better the ideals of men, to make them see finer things than they had seen before, to get rid of the things that divide and to make sure of the things that unite.”

“He who wishes to be benevolent will not be rich.”

“We know who is benevolent, by quite other means than the amount of subscriptions to soup-societies. It is only low merits that canbe enumerated.”

“You great benefactors, sprinkle our society with thankfulness. For your own gifts, make yourselves praised.”
