More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.
Benjamin Franklin
I am the laziest man in the world. I invented all those things to save myself from toil.
Benjamin Franklin
Practice makes perfect.
Benjamin Franklin
Hope of gain lessens pain.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.
Benjamin Franklin
Little boats should keep near shore
Benjamin Franklin
Anger warms the invention, but overheats the oven.
Benjamin Franklin
All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing, and improving. They do that by asking WHY. After all, the person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be the boss.
Benjamin Franklin
I would rather have it said, 'He lived usefully,' than, 'He died rich.'
Benjamin Franklin
Alas, I know if I ever became truly humble, I would be proud of it.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
Be not sick too late, nor well too soon
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who are fear'd, are hated.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember that credit is money.
Benjamin Franklin
The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
Would thou confound thy enemy, be good thyself.
Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. It will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge
Benjamin Franklin
