Benjamin Franklin

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of."

"How much more than necessary do we spend in sleep, forgetting that the sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleeping enough in the grave, as Poor Richard says."

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead either write things worth reading or do things worth writing."

"A place for everything, everything in its place."

"He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too."

"Take time for all things."

"Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste."

"He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities."

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
