Fools Make Feasts And Wise Men Eat

Keep Flax From Fire, And Youth From Gaming.

This Gave Me Occasion To Observe, That When Men Are Employ'd They Are Best Contented. For On The Days They Work'd They Were Good-natur'd And Chearful; And With The Consciousness Of Having Done A Good Days Work They Spent The Evenings Jollily; But On The Idle Days They Were Mutinous And Quarrelsome, Finding Fault With Their Pork, The Bread, And In Continual Ill-humour. (autobiography, 1771)

Those Who In Quarrels Interpose, Must Often Wipe A Bloody Nose.

Revelation, Indeed, As Such Had No Influence On My Mind

Where There Is Hunger, Law Is Not Regarded; And Where Law Is Not Regarded, There Will Be Hunger.
