More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Eat what you like, but dress for other people.
Benjamin Franklin
To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
Benjamin Franklin
What I am to be, I am now becoming.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
Benjamin Franklin
I have heard that nothing gives an Author so great Pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Benjamin Franklin
It might be judged an affront to your understanding should I go about to prove this first principle the existence of a Diety and that He is the Creator of the universe, for that would suppose you ignorant of what all mankind in all ages have agreed in.
Benjamin Franklin
Make the best use of both time and money. Add industry and frugal dealings if they pay very well and if you're free to it.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who would give up liberty for safety deserve neither.
Benjamin Franklin
There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
Benjamin Franklin
Trouble Springs From Idleness.
Benjamin Franklin
He that won't be counseled can't be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
Benjamin Franklin
Before you consult your fancy, consult your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.
Benjamin Franklin
When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
Benjamin Franklin
We can defer, yet time is most certainly not.
Benjamin Franklin
