More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
That there is one God, who made all things. That he governs the world by his providence. That he might be worshipped by adoration, prayer, and thanksgiving. But that the most acceptable service of God is doing good to Man. That the Soul is immortal. And that God will certainly reward virtue and punish vice, either here or hereafter.
Benjamin Franklin
What I am to be, I am now becoming.
Benjamin Franklin
