“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“A man of words and not of deeds,
Is like a garden full of weeds.”
― Benjamin Franklin, Fart Proudly: Writings of Benjamin Franklin You Never Read in School

“Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it, 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”
― Abraham Lincoln, Speeches and Writings 1832–1858

“Some people die at age 25 and aren't buried until they are 75.”
― Benjamin Franklin
