More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Kings have long arms, but Misfortune longer: let none think themselves out of her reach.
Benjamin Franklin
Great talkers are little doers.
Benjamin Franklin
That Quantity that is sufficient, the Stomach can perfectly concoct and digest, and it sufficeth the due Nourishment of the Body.
Benjamin Franklin
The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did.
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
Tis against some mens principle to pay interest, and seems against others interest to pay the principle.
Benjamin Franklin
Let thy vices die before thee.
Benjamin Franklin
Take it from Richard, poor and lame, What's begun in anger ends in shame.
Benjamin Franklin
It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
Benjamin Franklin
I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night
Benjamin Franklin
The problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you're finished.
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
Those who beat their swords into plowshares usually end up plowing for those who kept their swords.
Benjamin Franklin
Christians are directed to have faith in Christ, as the effectual means of obtaining the change they desire.
Benjamin Franklin
Display is as false as it is costly.
Benjamin Franklin
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.
Benjamin Franklin
