Ben Franklin
&
Some quotes attributed to him:

A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

Each year one vicious habit discarded, in time might make the worst of us good.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
