"If your head is made of wax,..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“A virtuous and industrious people may be cheaply governed.”

“My rule, in which I have always found satisfaction, is, never to turn aside in public affairs through views of private interest; but to go straight forward in doing what appears to me right at the time, leaving the consequences with Providence.”

“Trusting too much to others care is the ruin of many.”

“If you do not possess the staff of caution and discrimination, use the eyes of him who sees. If there is no staff of caution and discrimination, do not wander on the road without a guide.”

“Don't squat with your spurs on.”

“Never test the depth of river with both the feet.”

“Use wisely your power of choice.”

“Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.”

“Bring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.”
