Benjamin Franklin Quotes

One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.

I believe that if you don't derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don't come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don't feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste.

Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
