More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharoah - get first all the people's money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever.
Benjamin Franklin
What can laws do without morals?
Benjamin Franklin
Kings have long arms, but Misfortune longer: let none think themselves out of her reach.
Benjamin Franklin
We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin
Governments having failed the people, the people are entirely justified in assuming for themselves an essential role in government. Where a government takes proper measures to protect the people under its care, such a proceeding might have been thought both unnecessary and unjustifiable: But here it is quite the Reverse.
Benjamin Franklin
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions, and spend one penny less than thy clear gains then shall thy pocket begin to thrive creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hungerness bite, nor nakedness freeze thee
Benjamin Franklin
Contentment makes a poor person rich and discontent makes a rich person poor.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Benjamin Franklin
A wicked Hero will turn his back to an innocent coward.
Benjamin Franklin
When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.
Benjamin Franklin
Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
Benjamin Franklin
A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contently.
Benjamin Franklin
A full Belly brings forth every Evil.
Benjamin Franklin
You may give give a man office, but you cannot give him discretion
Benjamin Franklin
There is always room for the man of force.
Benjamin Franklin
Lying rides upon debt's back.
Benjamin Franklin
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see but I apprehend it has received various corrupting Changes and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity.
Benjamin Franklin
Be civil to all serviceable to many familiar with few friend to one enemy to none.
Benjamin Franklin
