Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

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

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
When Wine enters, out goes the Truth.
Benjamin Franklin
I never knew a man who was good at making excuses who was good at anything else.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin
Three things are men most likely to be cheated in, a horse, a wig, and a wife.
Benjamin Franklin
When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
Benjamin Franklin
Let the experiment be made.
Benjamin Franklin
If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty.
Benjamin Franklin
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
Benjamin Franklin
