Ben Franklin Quotes

The Constitution only give people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
Ben Franklin Quotes

Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.
Ben Franklin Quotes

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
