Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
In going on with these Experiments, how many pretty systems do we build, which we soon find ourselves oblig'd to destroy! If there is no other Use discover'd of Electricity, this, however, is something considerable, that it may help to make a vain Man humble.
Benjamin Franklin
Take care of the halfpence and pence, and the shillings and pounds will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
Diligence overcomes difficulties sloth makes them.
Benjamin Franklin
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who give up liberty for the sake of security, deserve neither liberty nor security.
Benjamin Franklin
Our necessities never equal our wants.
Benjamin Franklin
Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.
Benjamin Franklin
An old man in a house is a good sign.
