More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.
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
What is best for people is what they do for themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
Benjamin Franklin
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes and this is not the work of a day.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
Benjamin Franklin
Necessity never made a good bargain.
Benjamin Franklin
Opportunity is the great bawd.
Benjamin Franklin
If your riches are yours, why don't you take them with you to the other world?
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money'... Waste it now. Pay for it later!
Benjamin Franklin
Don't cry over spilled milk
Benjamin Franklin
Whenever we attempt to mend the scheme of Providence and to interfere in the Government of the world, we had need be very circumspect lest we do more harm than good.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
Benjamin Franklin
Little boats should keep near shore
Benjamin Franklin
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin
The Sting of a reproach, is the Truth of it.
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
There's many witty men whose brains can't fill their bellies.
Benjamin Franklin
In short, I conceive that great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by the false estimates they have made of the value of things, and by their giving too much for their whistles.
Benjamin Franklin
I am the laziest man in the world. I invented all those things to save myself from toil.
Benjamin Franklin
