Franklin on Fun

As Tomorrow is the 4th of July, we thought that we would see what Ben Franklin would say about our festivities.

~Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
~ Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
~ Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
~ Games lubricate the body and the mind.
~A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.
~ In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
~ The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
