More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
Benjamin Franklin
It's better to swim in the sea below Than to swing in the air and feed the crow, Says jolly Ned Teach of Bristol.
Benjamin Franklin
I am in the prime of senility.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would know the value of money go, and try to borrow some! For, he that goes a borrowing, goes a sorrowing! and indeed, so does he that lends to such people, when he goes to get it in again!
Benjamin Franklin
The best investment is in the tools of one's own trade.
Benjamin Franklin
Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge
Benjamin Franklin
It is better to take many injuries than to give one.
Benjamin Franklin
Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Benjamin Franklin
Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
Your argument is sound, nothing but sound.
Benjamin Franklin
Innocence is its own defense.
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
Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.
Benjamin Franklin
The two most beautiful sights I have witnessed in my life are a full blown ship at sail and the round-bellied pregnant female.
Benjamin Franklin
If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.
Benjamin Franklin
The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.
Benjamin Franklin
Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. It will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat what you like, but dress for other people.
Benjamin Franklin
Neither a Fortress nor a Maidenhead will hold out long after they begin to parley.
Benjamin Franklin
