More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Energy and persistence conquer all things.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows nor judge all he sees.
Benjamin Franklin
Grace thou thy house and let not that grace thee.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.
Benjamin Franklin
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
Leisure is the time for doing something useful.
Benjamin Franklin
