Life Advice -- Benjamin Franklin

"Be not disturbed at Trifles."

"Let all of your Things have their Places; let each part of your Business have its time."

"Eat not to Dullness; drink not to Elevation."*

*Not sure about BF's drinking philosophy but definitely sure I would have wanted to be a pretty young thing who flirted with the witty American Ambassador to France.  If you love BF too, Walter Isaccson's biography is not to be missed. The image above is from BF's portrait hanging in the Green Room in the White House.
