More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Alas, I know if I ever became truly humble, I would be proud of it.
Benjamin Franklin
When confronted with two courses of action I jot down on a piece of paper all the arguments in favor of each one, then on the opposite side I write the arguments against each one. Then by weighing the arguments pro and con and cancelling them out, one against the other, I take the course indicated by what remains.
Benjamin Franklin
When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
Benjamin Franklin
Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who prefer security to liberty deserve neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Increase in me that wisdom Which discovers my truest interest, Strengthen my resolution To perform that which wisdom dictates.
Benjamin Franklin
Necessity knows no law I know some attorneys of the same.
Benjamin Franklin
You may sometimes be much in the Wrong, in owning your being in the Right.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Force shites upon Reason's Back.
Benjamin Franklin
I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did.
Benjamin Franklin
Love, Cough, & a Smoke, can't well be hid.
Benjamin Franklin
Wherever desirable superfluities are imported, industry is excited, and thereby plenty is produced. Were only necessaries permitted to be purchased, men would work no more than was necessary for that purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
Hope and faith may be more firmly built upon charity, than charity upon faith and hope.
Benjamin Franklin
In going on with these Experiments, how many pretty systems do we build, which we soon find ourselves oblig'd to destroy! If there is no other Use discover'd of Electricity, this, however, is something considerable, that it may help to make a vain Man humble.
Benjamin Franklin
I believe there is one Supreme most perfect being. [...] I believe He is pleased and delights in the happiness of those He has created and since without virtue man can have no happiness in this world, I firmly believe He delights to see me virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
On being asked what condition of man he considered the most pitiable: A lonesome man on a rainy day who does not know how to read.
Benjamin Franklin
I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin
Hot things, sharp things, sweet things, cold things All rot the teeth, and make them look like old things.
Benjamin Franklin
