14 Quotes: Wisdom of Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin said all of these as written in his journal,
and the Poor Man's almanac.
Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.
For the want of a nail, the shoe was lose; for the want of a
shoe the horse was lose; and for the want of a horse the
rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy,
all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures
that occur every day, than in great pieces of good
fortune that happen but seldom to a man
in the course of his life.
