More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Here comes the orator with his flood of words and his drop of reason.
Benjamin Franklin
A word to the wise is enough, and many words won't fill a bushel.
Benjamin Franklin
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Benjamin Franklin
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
