More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Mankind are very odd creatures: one half censure what they practice, the other half practice what they censure the rest always say and do as they ought.
Benjamin Franklin
When you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests and their selfish views.
Benjamin Franklin
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin
Scarcely was I arrived at fifteen years of age, when, after having doubted in turn of different tenets, according as I found them combated in the different books that I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself.
Benjamin Franklin
