Benjamin Franklin
A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously. In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
The best tranquilizer is a clear conscience.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
Benjamin Franklin
Life's Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Benjamin Franklin
The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.
Benjamin Franklin
I am lord of myself, accountable to none.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Would thou confound thy enemy, be good thyself.
Benjamin Franklin
I believe long habits of virtue have a sensible effect on the countenance.
Benjamin Franklin
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Benjamin Franklin
And where is the Prince who can afford to so cover his country with troops for its defense, as that ten thousand men descending from the clouds, might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief, before a force could be brought together to repel them?
Benjamin Franklin
Marriage is the most natural state of man, and therefore the state in which one is most likely to find solid happiness.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three sorts of people in the world: Those who are immovable, people who don't get it, or don't want to do anything about it there are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it and there are people who move, people who make things happen.
Benjamin Franklin
Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.
Benjamin Franklin
