More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends
Benjamin Franklin
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Benjamin Franklin
I early found that when I worked for myself alone, myself alone worked for me but when I worked for others also, others worked also for me.
Benjamin Franklin
Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who give up liberty for the sake of security, deserve neither liberty nor security.
Benjamin Franklin
I know as well as thee that I am no poet born It is a trade, I never learnt nor indeed could learn If I make verses-'tis in spite Of nature and my stars I write.
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
People are best convinced by things they themselves discover.
Benjamin Franklin
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
Benjamin Franklin
Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.
Benjamin Franklin
How do you become better tomorrow? By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid of standing still. Forget your mistakes, but remember what they taught you. So how do you become better tomorrow? By becoming better today.
Benjamin Franklin
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
The one who fails to prepare is preparing to fail.
Benjamin Franklin
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.
Benjamin Franklin
Alas, I know if I ever became truly humble, I would be proud of it.
Benjamin Franklin
Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open.
Benjamin Franklin
He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
A virtuous and industrious people may be cheaply governed.
Benjamin Franklin
