Description
This book is a collection of 220 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Benjamin Franklin. It grants his reflections on subjects ranging from reading and writing something worth to Art of Life: "If you're going through hell, keep going." "There never was a good knife made of bad steel." "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." "Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." "A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned" "I didn't fail the test; I just found 100 ways to do it wrong." "Many people die at twenty five and aren't buried until they are seventy five." "If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking." "The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart." "Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do." "Work as if you were to live a thousand years, play as if you were to die tomorrow."
