Sayings by Benjamin Franklin
Who dainties love, shall beggars prove.
He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner.
Never spare the parson's wine, nor the baker's pudding.
The sleeping fox catches no poultry.
He that doth much at once, doth little well.
A good example is the best sermon.
He that best understands the world, best understands his own business.
If you would be lov'd, love.
The greatest invention of the world is the invention of good bread.
How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts!
To be happy is not the purpose of our being, but to be useful.
Write injuries in dust, benefits in marble.
A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.
No gains without pains.
He that has a Trade, has an Estate.
If you would have your business done, go; if not, send.
Hunger is the best sauce.
A fat kitchen, a lean will.
By diligence and patience, the mouse ate through the cable.
Great talkers, little doers.
