本杰明·富兰克林的一生充满
投资于知识,回报最佳
没有思想自由,就没有智慧
告诉我,我会忘记,教导我我会记住,让我参与,我才能学会
没有准备的人,就是在准备失败钱财并不属于拥有它的人,而只属于享用它的人。
挥霍无度的人,等于将自己的前途抵押了出去。
须要注意小额费用。一艘大船的沉没,有时是微的裂口所致。
把钱用在对自己对别人都有益的事情上,不要错花一分钱。
如果你懂得量入为出,那你就可以致富了。
失足可以很快弥补,失言却可能永远无法补救。
傻瓜的心在嘴里,聪明人的嘴在心里。
骄傲者憎恨他人骄傲。中华励志网
最难抑制的情感是骄傲,尽管你设法掩饰,竭力与之斗争,它仍然存在。即使我敢相信已将它完全克服,我很可能又因自己的谦逊而感到骄傲。
缺少谦虚就是缺少见识。
虚荣是骄傲的食物,轻蔑是它的饮料。
没有任何动物比蚂蚁更勤奋,然而它却最沉默寡言。
骄傲道德导致丰盈,然后导致贫困,最后导致声誉扫地。
绝望毁掉了一些人,而傲慢则毁掉了许多人。
恶习知道自己委实很丑陋,所以往往戴了假面具。
如果有.心胸开阔:不要为令人不快的区区琐事而心烦意乱,悲观失望。
诚实和勤勉应该成为你永久的伴侣。
忠诚老实:不要说有害于人的谎话,要表里一致。
诚实是最好的政策。
失足,你可能马上复站立;失信,你也许永难挽回。
良好的态度对于事业与社会的关系,正如机油对于机器一样重要。
想左右天下的人,须先能左右自己。---苏格拉底(希腊)什么需要明天做的事,最好现在就开始。
虚伪及欺诈是一切罪恶之母。---爱迪生(美国)
二十岁时支配作用的是意志,三十岁时是机智,四十岁时是判断。
平庸的人最大缺点是常常觉得自己比别人高明。
早熟的人凋枯得也早。
懒惰,像生锈一样,比操劳更能消耗身体,经常用的钥匙总是亮闪闪的。
命运的变化犹如月之圆缺,对智者无妨害。
我未曾见过一个早起、勤奋、谨慎、诚实的人抱怨命运不好;良好的品格,优良的习惯,坚强的意志,是不会被假设所谓的命运击败的。
真话说一半常是弥天大谎。
青年人的教育是国家的基石。
