More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A virtuous and industrious people may be cheaply governed.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
He that won't be counseled can't be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Benjamin Franklin
Fear God, and your enemies will fear you.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Necessity knows no law I know some attorneys of the same.
Benjamin Franklin
There are many roads to success, but only one sure road to failure and that is to try to please everyone else.
Benjamin Franklin
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Necessity never made a good bargain.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Much Virtue in Herbs, little in Men.
Benjamin Franklin
The learned fool writes his nonsense in better language than the unlearned, but it is still nonsense.
Benjamin Franklin
Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.
Benjamin Franklin
Getting into debt, is getting into a tanglesome net.
Benjamin Franklin
A true friend is the greatest possesion.
Benjamin Franklin
At twenty years of age the will reigns at thirty, the wit and at forty, the judgment.
Benjamin Franklin
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
Benjamin Franklin
