More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Mankind are dastardly when they meet with opposition.
Benjamin Franklin
Suspicion may be no fault, but showing it may be a great one.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who are willing to forfeit liberty for security will have neither.
Benjamin Franklin
All cats are gray in the dark.
Benjamin Franklin
Let thy discontents be thy secrets
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
A little Religion, and a little Honesty, goes a great way in Courts.
Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
The expenses required to prevent a war are much lighter than those that will, if not prevented, be absolutely necessary to maintain it.
Benjamin Franklin
If you wish information and improvement from the knowledge of others, and yet at the same time express yourself as firmly fix'd in your present opinions, modest, sensible men, who do not love disputation, will probably leave you undisturbed in the possession of your error.
Benjamin Franklin
Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical pretenders to religion or by the openly profane? The most dangerous hypocrite in a Commonwealth is one who leaves the gospel for the sake of the law. A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law.
Benjamin Franklin
Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge
Benjamin Franklin
Conceiving God to be the fountain of wisdom, I thought it right and necessary to solicit his assistance for obtaining it.
Benjamin Franklin
The grand leap of the whale up the Fall of Niagara is esteemed, by all who have seen it, as one of the finest spectacles in nature.
Benjamin Franklin
Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
Benjamin Franklin
Make the best use of both time and money. Add industry and frugal dealings if they pay very well and if you're free to it.
Benjamin Franklin
No longer virtuous no longer free is a Maxim as true with regard to a private Person as a Common-wealth.
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
