More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
There are two ways to increase your wealth. Increase your means or decrease your wants. The best is to do both at the same time.
Benjamin Franklin
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin Franklin
Praise little, dispraise less.
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!
Benjamin Franklin
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds.
Benjamin Franklin
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
Benjamin Franklin
Speak with contempt of none, from slave to king, The meanest Bee hath, and will use, a sting.
Benjamin Franklin
Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
Snowy winter, a plentiful harvest.
Benjamin Franklin
Lose no time be always employed in something useful.
Benjamin Franklin
There is scarce a king in a hundred who would not, if he could, follow the example of Pharoah - get first all the people's money, then all their lands, and then make them and their children servants forever.
Benjamin Franklin
The nearest I can make it out, Love your Enemies means, Hate your Friends
Benjamin Franklin
All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones. In my opinion, there never was a good war or a bad peace. When will mankind be convinced and agree to settle their difficulties by arbitration?
Benjamin Franklin
Think What You Do When You Run in Debt: You Give to Another Power over Your Liberty
Benjamin Franklin
Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.
Benjamin Franklin
The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty
Benjamin Franklin
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
Benjamin Franklin
He that scatters thorns, let him not go barefoot.
Benjamin Franklin
