More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
What I am to be, I am now becoming.
Benjamin Franklin
When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.
Benjamin Franklin
Resolve to perform what you ought perform without fail what you resolve.
Benjamin Franklin
I think opinions should be judged by their influences and effects and if a man holds none that tend to make him less virtuous or more vicious, it may be concluded that he holds none that are dangerous, which I hope is the case with me.
Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
Benjamin Franklin
An old young man, will be a young old man.
Benjamin Franklin
Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Benjamin Franklin
Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!
Benjamin Franklin
Getting into debt, is getting into a tanglesome net.
Benjamin Franklin
What more valuable than Gold? Diamonds. Than Diamonds? Virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would know the value of money go, and try to borrow some! For, he that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing! and indeed, so does he that lends to such people, when he goes to get it in again!
Benjamin Franklin
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Benjamin Franklin
Two dry Sticks will burn a green One.
Benjamin Franklin
Necessity never made a good bargain.
Benjamin Franklin
A wicked Hero will turn his back to an innocent coward.
Benjamin Franklin
My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in polemic divinity, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge, more proper books had not fallen in my way since it was now resolved I should not be a clergyman.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Benjamin Franklin
Marriage is the most natural state of man, and therefore the state in which one is most likely to find solid happiness.
Benjamin Franklin
If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.
Benjamin Franklin
