More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
If we are industrious, we shall never starve for, at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. Nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while despair increaseth them.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is of a prolific generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more.
Benjamin Franklin
Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.
Benjamin Franklin
Would thou confound thy enemy, be good thyself.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin
But the eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. If all but myself were blind, I should want neither fine clothes, fine houses nor fine furniture.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief.
Benjamin Franklin
Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
The most acceptable service of God is doing good to man.
Benjamin Franklin
The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.
Benjamin Franklin
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Benjamin Franklin
It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.
Benjamin Franklin
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
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
The English love an insult. It's their only test of a man's sincerity.
Benjamin Franklin
Savages we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility they think the same of theirs.
Benjamin Franklin
Great talkers are little doers.
Benjamin Franklin
