More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature.
Benjamin Franklin
He that drinks fast, pays slow.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride gets into the Coach, and Shame mounts behind.
Benjamin Franklin
Temperance puts wood on the fire, meal in the barrel, flour in the tub, money in the purse, credit in the country, contentment in the house, clothes on the back, and vigor in the body.
Benjamin Franklin
A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
Our necessities never equal our wants.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin
You cannot always run from a weakness. You must sometime fight it out or perish.
Benjamin Franklin
The grand leap of the whale up the Fall of Niagara is esteemed, by all who have seen it, as one of the finest spectacles in nature.
Benjamin Franklin
Beauty and folly are old companions.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
Benjamin Franklin
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
Conceiving God to be the fountain of wisdom, I thought it right and necessary to solicit his assistance for obtaining it.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember, Sir, that [England] began the slave trade!
Benjamin Franklin
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Benjamin Franklin
So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.
Benjamin Franklin
The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.
Benjamin Franklin
When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive
Benjamin Franklin
