The link is to a site that attributes to Franklin this trite saying: “There will be plenty of time to sleep once you are dead.”
It’s a banal and sloppy paraphrase of Franklin’s actual quote, from Poor Richard’s Almanac:
Jackie Mason: “I have enough money to last me the rest of my life. Unless I buy something.”
Emo Phillips: “Some mornings it just doesn’t seem worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.”
Aw, Mongo straight.
Life sucks then you die.

The favorite cartoon thread reminded me of this one…
“Shaddup shuttin’ up.”
In olden days, my boyfriend and I would go to the last showings of movies (Mon-Thurs) to avoid noisy crowds. One time it was just us, and one other couple, then in comes a group of five or six noisy teens. They proceeded to talk loudly through the announcements, through all the trailers, and even continued when the movie started. We were starting to get annoyed, when in an authoritative, gruff voice the other guy said…
“Shut up already!”
And they did!
From George Carlin: SOL and JWF*.
From “The Good Place”: Ya basic.

Ben Goldacre had this reply to woo advocates who find fault with evidence-based medicine:
“Defects in aircraft design do not prove the existence of magic carpets.”
The great thing about science is that it’s true, whether you believe it or not.
Not exactly a happy one, but I like it:
“A return to previous joys is too often a saddening experience.” That’s from Bernard Freemesser.
And another I like:
“We go back in space because we can’t go back in time,” from Samuel Hynes.
