Benjamin Franklin
He that is conscious of a stink in his breeches is [suspicious] of every wrinkle in another's nose.
Benjamin Franklin
Conceiving God to be the fountain of wisdom, I thought it right and necessary to solicit his assistance for obtaining it.
Benjamin Franklin
It might be judged an affront to your understanding should I go about to prove this first principle the existence of a Diety and that He is the Creator of the universe, for that would suppose you ignorant of what all mankind in all ages have agreed in.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
Benjamin Franklin
