More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.
Benjamin Franklin
The foundation of all happiness in thinking rightly.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Two dry Sticks will burn a green One.
Benjamin Franklin
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
Benjamin Franklin
The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.
Benjamin Franklin
