Benjamin Franklin
Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?
Benjamin Franklin
The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends
Benjamin Franklin
It is the duty of mankind on all suitable occasions to acknowledge their dependence on the Divine Being.
Benjamin Franklin
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin
You and I were long friends: you are now my enemy, and I am yours.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
The church, the state, and the poor, are 3 daughters which we should maintain, but not portion off.
Benjamin Franklin
A man separated from his reflective belt is no man at all.
Benjamin Franklin
Masonic labor is purely a labor of love. He who seeks to draw Masonic wages in gold and silver will be disappointed. The wages of a Mason are in the dealings with one another sympathy begets sympathy, kindness begets kindness, helpfulness begets helpfulness, and these are the wages of a Mason.
Benjamin Franklin
He'll cheat without scruple, who can without fear.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.
Benjamin Franklin
Trouble Springs From Idleness.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
Benjamin Franklin
I would rather have it said, 'He lived usefully,' than, 'He died rich.'
Benjamin Franklin
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone.
Benjamin Franklin
