More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
In prosperous fortunes be modest and wise, The greatest may fall, and the lowest may rise: But insolent People that fall in disgrace, Are wretched and nobody pities their Case.
Benjamin Franklin
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
Benjamin Franklin
Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.

People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
Benjamin Franklin
I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night
Benjamin Franklin
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

God helps those who help themselves.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
On the whole, though I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavor, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been had I not attempted it.
Benjamin Franklin
A single man has not nearly the value he would have in a state of union. He is an incomplete animal. He resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors.
Benjamin Franklin
It's the easiest thing in the world for a man to deceive himself.
Benjamin Franklin
Drive your business. Let not your business drive you.
Benjamin Franklin
A good spouse and health is a person's best wealth.
Benjamin Franklin
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.
Benjamin Franklin
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Benjamin Franklin
