More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Be studious in your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Beer is God's way of telling us that he loves us and wants us to be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who are willing to forfeit liberty for security will have neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Now I've a sheep and a cow, every body bids me good morrow.
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
Give me 26 lead soldiers and I will conquer the world.
Benjamin Franklin
To inquisitive minds like yours and mine the reflection that the quantity of human knowledge bears no proportion to the quantity of human ignorance must be in one view rather pleasing, viz., that though we are to live forever we may be continually amused and delighted with learning something new.
Benjamin Franklin
Old boys have their playthings as well as young ones the difference is only in the price.
Benjamin Franklin
If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one
Benjamin Franklin
Get what you can, and what you get hold 'tis the Stone that will turn all your Lead into Gold.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
Benjamin Franklin
If you watch your pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
An honest Man will receive neither Money nor Praise that is not his due.
Benjamin Franklin
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Benjamin Franklin
It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
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
It is better to let 100 criminals go free than to imprison 1 innocent man.
Benjamin Franklin
A penny saved is twopence dear A pin a day 's a groat a year.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
