2nd hour Franklin's Aphorisms by Mrs. McDougall https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq With which aphorism to do most strongly agree or disagree? Why? en-us 2018-11-26 14:29:29 UTC 2023-03-27 16:14:42 UTC hello@padlet.com A small leak will sink a great ship - Justin Grant grantjustin https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282667 I agree with this and what it literally means is that when a ship has just a small leak it will eventually sink over time. I agree because This applies to many other things too. Just a small hole in a relationship could cause it to go downhill overtime. A small hole in your life could cause you to fall over time.

The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers ad fools" (Faulkner 93). morangn https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282779 I agree with this because fighting and conflicts don't solve anything. It only ever causes more problems and hatred because two wrongs don't make a right. Fighting and arguing about an issue only ever worsens the situation. and the real "Battle" is inside those fighting. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282779 "A small leak will sink a great ship." yatesa8 https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282930 I agree with this aphorism and the literal meaning of it would be, like a small leak will send an entire ship underwater, that a small mistake can ruin your life. I agree that it is important not to do things that will effect your life altogether in a negative way. Making a mistake, even if it is small can effect your whole life, therefore you should be careful not to make foolish mistakes that may hurt you in the long run. -Anna Yates]]> 2018-11-27 14:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282930 Agree https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282946 I agree with the aphorism "Well done is better than well said" because it relates to the common phrase "actions speak louder than words." I believe that to be true; someone can talk about anything they want, but when it comes to their actions, they show their true colors.  - Eli]]> 2018-11-27 14:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308282946 "Well done is better than well said" https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283196 I most strongly agree with this aphorism because it is saying that "well done" is better because it is based off someones actions. However, "well said" means that it is based off of what someone said rather then what they did about the scenario. - Latonya Whitburn]]> 2018-11-27 14:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283196 The Doors of Wisdom are Never Shut- Ethan Davis https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283321 I agree with this because this is something that applies to myself and everyone else's daily life. I learn something new everyday, no matter how small or big it's importance is. So the doors of wisdom represent information, and they are always accessible to everyone. The amount of wisdom you take in varies based upon how many questions you ask and how many answers you take into consideration.]]> 2018-11-27 14:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283321 "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead" https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283340 I love this one because everyone is a snake. Just kidding. Well, sort of. But still, not a lot of people are worth trusting, and secrets are seldom kept, so I definitely agree with this. -Katrina Behm]]> 2018-11-27 14:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308283340 Write Injuries in Dust, Benefits in Marble. sydenstrickere https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284028 To let go of your downfalls and harm done to you,  while celebrating and holding onto the good things that have happened to you, I agree with this aphorism greatly. I think it's incredibly important to hold a positive attitude and let the past go, if you hold on to grudges you can't move forward.]]> 2018-11-27 14:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284028 "Have you somewhat to do tomorrow, do it today" kovachevichh https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284193 I agree with this aphorism. It gives off the message that one can't dream of their goals and not make them happen. I like this quote because it tells one that if they have something to do, do it now, stop holding it off until "tomorrow". -Hannah Kovachevich]]> 2018-11-27 14:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284193 "Tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them." -Lauren Langley langleyl1 https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284307 I agree with this aphorism because from personal experiences I believe this to be true. For example it's easier to tidy up your room everyday, then wait months and months to find your room so trashed, that you have to find a path to your bed. It's easier to take little steps everyday to make sure a bad habit doesn't occur, then to let a bad habit form and then have to start all over again at square one. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284307 "A true friend is the best possession" Alexandria Frederick https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284710 I agree,  With out a friend or someone you can talk to, we would be full of so many things or ideas not knowing who to talk to we would just be stressed or lost.]]> 2018-11-27 14:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308284710 Fish and visitors smell in three days https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308285361  I disagree with what he is saying here. The meaning of this is that visitors become rancid once they've extended their stay. The first three days they are considered company, but after that, they are unwelcome, like fish that has sat out too long and turned bad. If they aren't a friend or family member, then I wouldn't invite them into my house in the first place. So if they want to stay at my house, no company is unwelcome.

Because I left my injuries and pain in the dust or behind me I was able to have my victories stand out against the grain. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308285708 Well done is better than well said tranq1 https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308286691 I agree with this one. It means that doing something is much harder and more honorable than saying that it will be done.

The thought of having a real friend that is there for you, and someone that you can share anything with is priceless. -Harley Leeseberg

A lot of people talk about doing things more than doing it. ]]> 2018-11-27 14:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308287993 If you would like to know the worth of some money, try and borrow some. lopezs4 https://padlet.com/mcdougallj/66le643eayzq/wish/308290172 I think that this aphorism is no longer as relevant to our modern-day society. We are a credit based generation, every time you swipe a credit card you’re borrowing money. I don't think we are as financially aware as Franklin’s time, and I think he would be utterly shocked at the value and worth we have taken away from money. Money is now taken for granted.
