More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
Love, Cough, & a Smoke, can't well be hid.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure nothing more bondage than too much liberty.
