--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we look back into history for the character of the present sects in Christianity, we shall find few that have not in their turns been persecutors, and complainers of persecution. The primitive Christians thought persecution extremely wrong in the Pagans, but practiced it on one another. The first Protestants of the Church of England blamed persecution in the Roman Catholic Church, but practiced it upon the Puritans. They found it wrong in Bishops, but fell into the practice themselves both here (England) and in New England.
--Benjamin Franklin


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I wish it (Christianity) were more productive of good works ... I mean real good works ... not holy-day keeping, sermon-hearing ... or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity."
--Benjamin Franklin [Works, Vol. VII, p. 75]

All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

Early morning hath gold in its mouth.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor, will feel a pleasure in the reverse. And those who despair to rise in distinction by their virtues, are happy if others can be depressed to a level of themselves.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man, rely upon it; "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure, and trouble therewith."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He who multiplies riches multiplies cares.
