More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Vice knows she is ugly, so puts on her mask.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Be civil to all serviceable to many familiar with few friend to one enemy to none.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
Benjamin Franklin
A quarrelsome man has no good neighbours.
Benjamin Franklin
The purpose of money was to purchase one's freedom to pursue that which is useful and interesting.
Benjamin Franklin
Great talkers are little doers.
Benjamin Franklin
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
Benjamin Franklin

To whom you betray your secret you sell your liberty.
Benjamin Franklin
