More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
He who will not be counseled cannot be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
You have two choices, write about something of significance or do something someone wants to write about.
Benjamin Franklin
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
The poor have little beggars, none the rich, too much enough, not one.
Benjamin Franklin
Stand firm, don't flutter!
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.

Benjamin Franklin
The thrifty maxim of the wary Dutch, Is to save all the Money they can touch
Benjamin Franklin
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.
Benjamin Franklin
We are not so sensible of the greatest Health as of the least Sickness.
Benjamin Franklin
He that's secure is not safe.
Benjamin Franklin
Sarcasm is the lowest form of humor but the highest form of flattery.
Benjamin Franklin
Let the experiment be made.
Benjamin Franklin
To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.
Benjamin Franklin
Handle your tools without mittens.
Benjamin Franklin
By playing at Chess then, we may learn... First: Foresight. Second: Circumspection. Third: Caution.
Benjamin Franklin
