More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Often I sit up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning, lest it should be missed or wanted.
Benjamin Franklin
The things which hurt, instruct.
Benjamin Franklin
To find out a girl's faults, praise her to her girlfriends.
Benjamin Franklin
The exact Quantity and Quality being found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Benjamin Franklin
What signifies knowing the Names, if you know not the Natures of things.
Benjamin Franklin
She that paints her Face, thinks of her Tail.
Benjamin Franklin
Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
They who have nothing to trouble them, will be troubled at nothing.
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
Marriage is the most natural state of man, and therefore the state in which one is most likely to find solid happiness.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
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
Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
I looked around for God's judgments, but saw no signs of them.
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
He who multiplies riches multiplies cares.
Benjamin Franklin
Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried with fewer tensions and more tolerance.
Benjamin Franklin
Why does the blind man's wife paint herself.
Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
