"If thou dost ill, the joy fades, not the pains; if well, the pain doth fade, the joy..." - Benjamin Franklin

“If thou dost ill, the joy fades, not the pains; if well, the pain doth fade, the joy remains.”

— Benjamin Franklin

Doing the right thing might sting in the moment, but the good feeling lasts. Cutting corners feels great for a second, then the regret lingers. Choose the lasting joy.
