William Makepeace Thackeray on money

Bravery never goes out of fashion.

Stupid people, people who do not know how to laugh, are always pompous and self-conceited.

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all. Some of us can’t: and are proud of our impotence, too.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790Preface, Poor Richard’s Almanack (1758)

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal.
