Wisdom

From the eyes and mind of Ben Franklin 

There are lazy minds as well as lazy bodies. 

It is never too late to mend. 

Building is an old man’s amusement. The advantage is for his posterity. 

Is not the hope of one day being able to purchase and enjoy luxuries a great spur to labor and industry? 

He that has a trade has an office of profits and honor. 

We make these times better if we be-stir ourselves. 

He that lieth down with dogs, shall wake up with fleas. 

A full belly makes a dull brain. 

Tis very ill driving black dogs in the dark. 

Industry pays debts while despair increases them. 

Eat to live-not live to eat. 

He that is late must trod all day. 

Eat to please yourself, dress to please others. 

I wish every kind of prosperity to my friends and forgive my enemies. 

He that waits upon fortune is never sure of dinner. 

A fine genius, in his own country, is like a gold mine.
