Benjamin Franklin

• Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to none.

• The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.

• Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

• There was never a good war or a bad peace.

• Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

• The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance.

• Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

• Search others for virtues, thyself for thy vices.

• Fish & Visitors stink in 3 days.

• A life of leisure, and a life of laziness, are two things.
