More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
He that doth what he should not, shall feel what he would not.
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
Much Virtue in Herbs, little in Men.
Benjamin Franklin
There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
My refusing to eat meat occasioned inconveniency, and I have been frequently chided for my singularity. But my light repast allows for greater progress, for greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension.
Benjamin Franklin
Rarely use Venery but for Health or Offspring Never to Dulness, Weakness, or the Injury of your own or another's Peace or Reputation.
Benjamin Franklin
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Benjamin Franklin
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
