More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Benjamin Franklin
A quarrelsome man has no good neighbours.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
I grew convinced that truth, sincerity and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance to the felicity of life, and I formed written resolutions . . . to practice them ever while I lived.
Benjamin Franklin
Be studious in your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least you will, by such conduct, stand the be.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
An old man in a house is a good sign.
Benjamin Franklin
Forewarn'd, forearm'd.
Benjamin Franklin
The thrifty maxim of the wary Dutch, Is to save all the Money they can touch
Benjamin Franklin
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Benjamin Franklin
Hope and faith may be more firmly built upon charity, than charity upon faith and hope.
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
A man is not completely born until he is dead. Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals, a new member added to their happy society?
Benjamin Franklin
God grant, that not only the Love of Liberty, but a thorough Knowledge of the Rights of Man, may pervade all the Nations of the Earth, so that a Philosopher may set his Foot anywhere on its Surface, and say, 'This is my Country.'
Benjamin Franklin
Little rogues easily become great ones.
Benjamin Franklin
Opportunity is the great bawd.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation.
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin
