Kill no more pigeons than you can eat.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

Friends and neighbors complain that taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might the more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly.

Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.

If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be, as Poor Richard says, “the greatest prodigality'; since, as he elsewhere tells us, 'Lost time is never found again'; and 'What we call time enough always proves little enough'. Let us then up and be doing, and doing to the purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity.

The foundation of all happiness in thinking rightly.
