Ben Franklin Speaks:

A slip of the foot you may soon recover,
but a slip of the tongue you may never
get over.

An investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

Glass, china and reputation are easily cracked,
and never well mended.

God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.

He that blows the coals in quarrels that
he has nothing to do with, has no right
to complain if the sparks fly in his face.

He that can have patience can have what he will.
