Dear friends,
I share with you some of the precepts on Daily Life by Benjamin Franklin.
1)*How few there are who have courage enough to own their Faults, or resolution enough to mend them! (p. 7)
2)*He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books. (p.8)
3)*The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise. (p.8)
4)*Well done is better than well said. (p.8)
5)*Who has deceived thee so often as thy self? (p.9)
6)*To err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish. (p.10)
7)*Wise men learn by others’ harms; fools by their own. (p.11)
Regards, Magda
