More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
Much Virtue in Herbs, little in Men.
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
Before you consult your fancy, consult your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
The borrower is a slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.
Benjamin Franklin
Snowy winter, a plentiful harvest.
Benjamin Franklin
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
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
The only time a question should be asked is when all other possibilities of finding the answer for yourself have been eliminated.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
Benjamin Franklin
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Benjamin Franklin
When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.
Benjamin Franklin
Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtues, of ... Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
Benjamin Franklin
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
Benjamin Franklin
There is nothing so absurd as knowledge spun too fine.
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!
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
Grief for a dead Wife, and a troublesome Guest, Continues to the threshold, and there is at rest But I mean such wives as are none of the best
Benjamin Franklin
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
