"He that resolves to mend hereafter, resolves..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Taxes on consumption, like those on capital or income, to be just, must be uniform.”

“Ben Franklin was a little stout later in life and it was said that in Paris a young woman, tapping him on his protruding abdomen, said,"Dr. Franklin, if this were on a woman, we'd know what to think." And Franklin replied,"Half an hour ago, Mademoiselle, it was on a woman, and now what do you think?"”

“There seems to be three ways for a nation to acquire wealth: the first is by war...this is robbery; the second by commerce, which is generally cheating; the third by agriculture, the only honest way.”

“After all is said and done, a hell lot of a lot more is said than done.”

“If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today.”

“Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now.”

“First, say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do. Life is a grindstone. Whether it wears you down or polishes you up depends on what YOU are made of.”

“Action may not bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.”

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.”
