More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Leisure is the time for doing something useful.
Benjamin Franklin
Christianity commands us to pass by injuries policy, to let them pass by us.
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
This [the U.S. Constitution] is likely to be administered for a course of years and then end in despotism... when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other.
Benjamin Franklin
The States acceded to the Union.
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
Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive
Benjamin Franklin
Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.
Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
Joy doesn't exist in the world, it exists in us.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy
Benjamin Franklin
Do well by doing good.
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
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Benjamin Franklin
To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
Pity and forbearance should characterize all acts of justice.
Benjamin Franklin
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands, or commanding wives.
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
