More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Diligence overcomes difficulties sloth makes them.
Benjamin Franklin
Where there's no law, there's no bread.
Benjamin Franklin
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
Benjamin Franklin
Praise little, dispraise less.
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
Experience is the best teacher, but a fool will learn from no other.
Benjamin Franklin
Half-wits talk much, but say little.
Benjamin Franklin
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.
Benjamin Franklin
Oh the wonderful knowledge to be found in the stars. Even the smallest things are written there ... if you had but skill to read.
Benjamin Franklin
Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.
Benjamin Franklin
Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!
Benjamin Franklin
Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
Hereafter, if you should observe an occasion to give your officers and friends a little more praise than is their due, and confess more fault than you can justly be charged with, you will only become the sooner for it, a great captain.
Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
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
Wink at small faults remember thou hast great ones.
Benjamin Franklin
If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.
Benjamin Franklin
The happy State of Matrimony is, undoubtedly, the surest and most lasting Foundation of Comfort and Love . . . the Cause of all good Order in the World, and what alone preserves it from the utmost Confusion.
Benjamin Franklin
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands, or commanding wives.
Benjamin Franklin
