More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I early found that when I worked for myself alone, myself alone worked for me but when I worked for others also, others worked also for me.
Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?
Benjamin Franklin
Force shites upon Reason's Back.

Benjamin Franklin
A single man has not nearly the value he would have in a state of union. He is an incomplete animal. He resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
Benjamin Franklin
Learn of the skillful he that teaches himself, has a fool for his master.
Benjamin Franklin
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Benjamin Franklin
It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Benjamin Franklin
A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose to the grindstone.
