More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
Benjamin Franklin
It is very imprudent to deprive America of any of her privileges. If her commerce and friendship are of any importance to you, they are to be had on no other terms than leaving her in the full enjoyment of her rights.
Benjamin Franklin
Cut the Wings of your Hens and Hopes, lest they lead you a weary Dance after them.
Benjamin Franklin
The game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement several very valuable qualities of the mind are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions, for life is a kind of chess.
Benjamin Franklin
Conceiving God to be the fountain of wisdom, I thought it right and necessary to solicit his assistance for obtaining it.
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
Anyone willing to give up liberty in exchange for security deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Now I've a sheep and a cow, every body bids me good morrow.
Benjamin Franklin
I have never seen the Philosopher's Stone that turns lead into Gold, but I have known the pursuit of it turn a Man's Gold into Lead.
Benjamin Franklin
We can defer, yet time is most certainly not.
Benjamin Franklin
We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, Without vanity I may say, etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.
Benjamin Franklin
If you'd lose a troublesome visitor, lend him money.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.
Benjamin Franklin
For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Benjamin Franklin
Drive your business. Let not your business drive you.
Benjamin Franklin
The used key is always bright.
Benjamin Franklin
