Benjamin Franklin
Printer whose success as an author led him to take up politics; he helped draw up the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution;
he played a major role in the American Revolution and negotiated French support for the colonists; as a scientist he is remembered particularly for his research in electricity (1706-1790)
Who is rich? He who is content. Who is that? Nobody.
An investment in knowledge still yields the best returns.
He is a fool that cannot conceal his wisdom.
If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.
He does not possess wealth it possesses him.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his who enjoys it.
Many men die at twenty-five and aren't buried until they are seventy-five.
He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows nor judge all he sees.
Early morning hath gold in its mouth.
