More From Benjamin Franklin

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.
Love School Optimistic
There is no tongue to speak his eulogy; too brightly burned his splendour for our eyes: far easier to condemn his injurers, than for the tongue to reach his smallest worth. he to the realms of sinfulness came down, to teach mankind; ascending then to god, heaven unbarred to him her lofty gates, to whom his country hers refused to ope. ungrateful land, to its own injury nurse of his fate! well too does this instruct, that greatest ills fall to the perfectest. and 'midst a thousand proofs, let this suffice, that, as his exile had no parallel, so never was there man more great than he.

It is our duty not to not only hold fast, but to hold forth the word of life; not only to hold fast for our own benefit, but to hold it forth for the benefit of others, to hold it forth as the candlestick holds forth the candle, which makes it appear to advantage all around, or as the luminaries of the heavens, which shed their influences far and wide.

If i marry: he must be so tall that when he is on his knees, as one has said he reaches all the way to heaven. his shoulders must be broad enough to bear the burden of a family. his lips must be strong enough to smile, firm enough to say no, and tender enough to kiss. love must be so deep that it takes its stand in christ and so wide that it takes the whole lost world in. he must be active enough to save souls. he must be big enough to be gentle and great enough to be thoughtful. his arms must be strong enough to carry a little child.

It's never too early to teach your children about the tool of money. teach them how to work for it and they learn pride and self-respect. teach them how to save it and they learn security and self-worth. teach them how to be generous with it and they learn love.

Petruchio: come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry. katherine: if i be waspish, best beware my sting. petruchio: my remedy is then, to pluck it out. katherine: ay, if the fool could find where it lies. petruchio: who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? in his tail. katherine: in his tongue. petruchio: whose tongue? katherine: yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. petruchio: what, with my tongue in your tail? nay, come again, good kate; i am a gentleman.

Similar Quotes
As readers, we are seldom interested in the fine sentiments of a lesson learnt; we seldom care about the good manners of morals. repentance puts an end to conversation; forgiveness becomes the stuff of moralistic tracts. revenge - bloodthirsty, justice-hungry revenge - is the very essence of romance, lying at the heart of much of the best fiction.
Revenge Lying Heart
Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction.... in its horror of sensuality, it made an idol of asceticism, which has been gradually compromised away into one of legality. it holds out the hope of heaven and the threat of hell, as the appointed and appropriate motives to a virtuous life - in this falling far below the best of the ancients, and doing what lies in it to give to human morality an essentially selfish character.... it is essentially a doctrine of passive obedience; it inculcates submission to all authorities found established.

Travelers never did lie, though fools at home condemn them.

A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
