More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one
Benjamin Franklin
Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive
Benjamin Franklin
Thank God! we are in the full enjoyment of all these privileges. But can we be taught to prize them too much? or how can we prize them equal to their value, if we do not know their intrinsic worth, and that they are not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature?
Benjamin Franklin
An Egg to day is better than a Hen to-morrow.
Benjamin Franklin
Fear God, and your enemies will fear you.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember that credit is money.
Benjamin Franklin
Alas, I know if I ever became truly humble, I would be proud of it.
Benjamin Franklin
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Benjamin Franklin
It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.
Benjamin Franklin
Wherever desirable superfluities are imported, industry is excited, and thereby plenty is produced. Were only necessaries permitted to be purchased, men would work no more than was necessary for that purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
An ounce of wit that is bought, Is worth a pound that is taught.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
Benjamin Franklin
A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contently.
Benjamin Franklin
They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride gets into the Coach, and Shame mounts behind.
Benjamin Franklin
Interest which blinds some People, enlightens others.
Benjamin Franklin
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Benjamin Franklin
That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.
Benjamin Franklin
Pity and forbearance should characterize all acts of justice.
Benjamin Franklin
He does not possess wealth it possesses him.
Benjamin Franklin
