Benjamin Franklin
Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful.
Benjamin Franklin
In humility imitate Jesus and Socrates.
Benjamin Franklin
Clean your finger before you point at my spots.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you live with ease, Do what you ought, and not what you please.
Benjamin Franklin
The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.
Benjamin Franklin
Little rogues easily become great ones.
Benjamin Franklin
'tis his honesty that brought upon him the character of a heretic.
Benjamin Franklin
Anger warms the invention, but overheats the oven.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
Governments having failed the people, the people are entirely justified in assuming for themselves an essential role in government. Where a government takes proper measures to protect the people under its care, such a proceeding might have been thought both unnecessary and unjustifiable: But here it is quite the Reverse.
Benjamin Franklin
Often I sit up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning, lest it should be missed or wanted.
Benjamin Franklin
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds.
Benjamin Franklin
No man ever was glorious, who was not laborious.
Benjamin Franklin
Who pleasure gives, Shall joy receive
Benjamin Franklin
