Thomas Jefferson Quotes
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.
Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
Benjamin Franklin Quotes
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
