When the well is dry, people know the worth of water. [so appreciate what you have while you have it]
Benjamin FranklinThere are many roads to success, but only one sure road to failure; and that is to try to please everyone else.
Benjamin FranklinI have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings that "except the Lord build they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel
