More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Lost time can never be found again
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions, and spend one penny less than thy clear gains then shall thy pocket begin to thrive creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hungerness bite, nor nakedness freeze thee
Benjamin Franklin
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Benjamin Franklin
I am in the prime of senility.
Benjamin Franklin
Time Like a petal in the wind Flows softly by As old lives are taken New ones begin A continual chain Which lasts throughout eternity Every life but a minute in time But each of equal importance
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
In Truth I found myself incorrigible with respect to Order and now I am grown old, and my Memory bad, I feel very sensibly the want of it.
Benjamin Franklin
Kings have long arms, but Misfortune longer: let none think themselves out of her reach.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Grace thou thy house and let not that grace thee.
Benjamin Franklin
He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say farewell to his creditors
Benjamin Franklin
Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Benjamin Franklin
You may sometimes be much in the Wrong, in owning your being in the Right.
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
That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.
Benjamin Franklin
Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Benjamin Franklin
If Pride leads the Van, Beggary brings up the Rear.
Benjamin Franklin
There is nothing so absurd as knowledge spun too fine.
Benjamin Franklin
Christianity commands us to pass by injuries policy, to let them pass by us.
Benjamin Franklin
