More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.
Benjamin Franklin
Some men grow mad by studying much to know, But who grows mad by studying good to grow.
Benjamin Franklin
Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.
Benjamin Franklin
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
Benjamin Franklin
If you'd lose a troublesome visitor, lend him money.
Benjamin Franklin
Mankind are dastardly when they meet with opposition.
Benjamin Franklin
It is better to take many injuries than to give one.
Benjamin Franklin
The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends
Benjamin Franklin
Think of these things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
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
Would you live with ease, Do what you ought, and not what you please.
Benjamin Franklin
So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.
Benjamin Franklin
In humility imitate Jesus and Socrates.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
There is nothing so absurd as knowledge spun too fine.
Benjamin Franklin
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously. In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
Rarely use Venery but for Health or Offspring Never to Dulness, Weakness, or the Injury of your own or another's Peace or Reputation.
Benjamin Franklin
