More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
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
It is the duty of mankind on all suitable occasions to acknowledge their dependence on the Divine Being.
Benjamin Franklin
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Benjamin Franklin
A man is sometimes more generous when he has but a little money than when he has plenty, perhaps through fear of being thought to have but little.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
If you would know the value of money go, and try to borrow some! For, he that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing! and indeed, so does he that lends to such people, when he goes to get it in again!
Benjamin Franklin
He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say farewell to his creditors
Benjamin Franklin
Those who are willing to forfeit liberty for security will have neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Two dry Sticks will burn a green One.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
Benjamin Franklin
People are best convinced by things they themselves discover.
Benjamin Franklin
Wine is constant proof that God loves us and likes to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Who has deceived thee as oft as thyself.

To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
