Benjamin Franklin

Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.

Content makes poor men rich; Discontent makes rich men poor.

I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition, the faults of the first.

He that won't be counseled can't be helped.

Remember, that credit is money.

The most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or at nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at the billiard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain, and most fools do.

Empty the coins in your purse into your mind and your mind will fill your purse with coins.

Constant complaint is the poorest sort of pay for all the comforts we enjoy.
