More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Strive to be the best and you may succeed: he may well win the race that runs by himself.
Benjamin Franklin
Take care of the halfpence and pence, and the shillings and pounds will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
Practice makes perfect.
Benjamin Franklin
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Benjamin Franklin
To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.
Benjamin Franklin
A good example is the best sermon.

Benjamin Franklin
Joy doesn't exist in the world, it exists in us.
Benjamin Franklin
A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang as when single and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang.
Benjamin Franklin
Think What You Do When You Run in Debt: You Give to Another Power over Your Liberty
Benjamin Franklin
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone.
Benjamin Franklin
The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
