More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat what you like, but dress for other people.
Benjamin Franklin
He that hath a trade hath an estate and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Benjamin Franklin
A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool.
Benjamin Franklin
My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in polemic divinity, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge, more proper books had not fallen in my way since it was now resolved I should not be a clergyman.
Benjamin Franklin
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on
Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin
Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
There is much money given to be laughed at, though the purchasers don't know it witness A.'s fine horse, and B.'s fine house.
Benjamin Franklin
O powerful goodness! Bountiful Father! Merciful Guide! Increase in me that wisdom which discovers my truest interest. Strengthen my resolution to perform what that wisdom dictates. Accept my kind offices to thy other children as the only return in my power for thy continual favours to me.
Benjamin Franklin
Evils come not, then our fears are vain And if they do fear but augments the pain.
Benjamin Franklin
Most people die at 25 but are buried at 75.
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
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy
Benjamin Franklin
What I am to be, I am now becoming.
Benjamin Franklin
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.
Benjamin Franklin
If we lose our Money, it gives us some Concern. If we are cheated or robb'd of it, we are angry: But Money lost may be found what we are robb'd of may be restored: The Treasure of Time once lost, can never be recovered yet we squander it as tho' 'twere nothing worth, or we had no Use for it.
Benjamin Franklin
Private property...is the creature of society and is subject to the calls of that society even to the last farthing.
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
