More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
Your best investment is to pour your purse into your head, and no one can take it away from you.
Benjamin Franklin
If Men are so wicked as we now see them with Religion what would they be if without it?
Benjamin Franklin
By the word simplicity, is not always meant folly or ignorance but often, pure and upright Nature, free from artifice, craft or deceitful ornament.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
All cats look gray in the dark.
Benjamin Franklin
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Benjamin Franklin
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin
The best investment is in the tools of one's own trade.
Benjamin Franklin
There is always room for the man of force.
Benjamin Franklin
If you watch your pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Let thy maid servant be faithful, strong, and homely.
Benjamin Franklin
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin
The doors of wisdom are never shut.
Benjamin Franklin
I early found that when I worked for myself alone, myself alone worked for me but when I worked for others also, others worked also for me.
Benjamin Franklin
