Greetings my blogren,
It has been many moons since I posted anything. Reason is that being a full time father and full time entreprenuer has kinda got me against the ropes. But not one to hold back on wisdom I come across, one of my favorite blog sites, the Art Of Manliness posted this great article. 85 amazing quotes by Benjamin Franklin on life, wealth, work, discipline. Here’s a snippet then you can see the whole for yourself and hopefully you men out there will be hooked to this site.
- God helps them that help themselves
- Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright
- Dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for that’s the stuff life is made of
- The sleeping fox catches no poultry
- There will be sleeping enough in the grave
- Wasting time must be the greatest prodigality
- Lost time is never found again
- Time-enough, always proves little enough
- Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy
- He that riseth late, must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night
- Laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him
- Drive thy business, let not that drive thee
- Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
- Industry need not wish
- He that lives upon hope will die fasting
- There are no gains, without pains
- He that hath a trade hath an estate
- He that hath a calling hath an office of profit and honor
- At the working man’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter
- For industry pays debts, while despair encreaseth them
- Diligence is the mother of good luck
- Plough deep, while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep
- One today is worth two tomorrows
- Have you somewhat to do tomorrow, do it today
- Be ashamed to catch yourself idle
- Let not the sun look down and say, inglorious here he lies
- The cat in gloves catches no mice
- Constant dropping wears away stones
- Diligence and patience the mouse ate in two the cable
- Little strokes fell great oaks

« The Apprentice returns…with a new apprentice and address Truths about borrowing money that I’ve learned from loan sharks »
And one wonders why some people carry themselves like they lack common sense….maybe they don’t read enough, or think as much…don’t pay me much attention.
Beautiful quotes, thank you The Apprentice
Thanks Petesmama, and how are you and your lovely ones?
Indeed. I once read something that said, “where you will be in the next so many years will be directly proportional to the books you read and the people you hang out with” Hw are you love?
Thank you for the quotes and welcome back.
