“ Does't thou love life? Then do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of. ”
Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five.
~ Benjamin Franklin
He that can have patience can have what he will.
Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle.
Were I a Roman Catholic, perhaps I should on this occasion vow to build a chapel to some saint, but as I am not, if I were to vow at all, it should be to build a light-house.[Letter to his wife, 17 July 1757, after narrowly avoiding a shipwreck; often misquoted as Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.]
