"Our new Constitution is now established, and..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Be temperate in wine, in eating, girls, & sloth; Or the Gout will seize you and plague you both.”

“Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.”

“Applause waits on success.”

“Love is many things. It is varied. One thing love is not, is unsure.”

“The person who is motivated by necessity is interested in what's known and what's secure. The person who is motivated by possibility is equally interested in what's not known. He wants to know what can evolve, what opportunities might develop.”

“To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable, but to be certain is to be ridiculous.”

“A message came from my youth of vanished days, saying, 'I wait for you among the quivering of unborn May, where smiles ripen for tears and hours ache with songs unsung.' It says, 'Come to me across the worn-out track of age, through the gates of death. For dreams fade, hopes fail, the fathered fruits of the year decay, but I am the eternal truth, and you shall meet me again and again in your voyage of life from shore to shore.”

“Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age.”

“Dying is a troublesome business: there is pain to be suffered, and it wrings one's heart; but death is a splendid thing -a warfare accomplished, a beginning all over again, a triumph. You can always see that in their faces.”
