A change of pace

I've been going over important Biblical points, attacking Obama's poor choices, or undermining the global warming scam. How about a change here? I came across some clever things Ben Franklin said in his almanac. Some wisdom never goes out of style. Here's Ben:

who has deceive thee so often as thyself?

The family of fools is ancient

do me the favor to deny me at once

what you would seem to be, be really

how many observe Christ's birthday; how few his precepts! Oh, ‘tis easier to keep holidays than Commandments

how few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them

he that can compose himself is wiser than he that composes books

to err is human, to repent divine; to persist devilish

doing an injury puts you below your enemy; revenging one makes you but even with him; forgiving sets you above him

wealth is not his that has it but he that enjoys it
