More quotes by 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

Benjamin Franklin
Those who are fear'd, are hated.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Take the money in your wallet and invest it in your mind. And in return, your mind will fill up your wallet!
Benjamin Franklin
If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.
Benjamin Franklin
Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty they prosper and die together: And it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them. It produces excellent writers, and encourages men of fine genius.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
No gains without pains.
Benjamin Franklin
The happy State of Matrimony is, undoubtedly, the surest and most lasting Foundation of Comfort and Love . . . the Cause of all good Order in the World, and what alone preserves it from the utmost Confusion.
Benjamin Franklin
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
I have heard that nothing gives an Author so great Pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors.
Benjamin Franklin
