I had the chance to sit down and converse with Benjamin Franklin (don't ask how!!!) Here are some things he said...
"A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one."
"A penny saved is a penny earned."
"All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move."
"Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one."
"Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn."
"By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail."
"Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing."
"Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days."
"He does not possess wealth; it possesses him."
"He that can have patience can have what he will."
Although, after watching this, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about the honesty of this "Silence Dogood" fellow... :)
Poor Richard!
