More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Poverty, Poetry, and new Titles of Honor, make Men ridiculous
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Strict punctuality is a cheap virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
If thou hast wit and learning, add to it wisdom and modesty.
Benjamin Franklin
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on
Benjamin Franklin
One Man may be more cunning than another, but not more cunning than every body else.
Benjamin Franklin
Rarely use Venery but for Health or Offspring Never to Dulness, Weakness, or the Injury of your own or another's Peace or Reputation.
Benjamin Franklin
