I have met the enemy, and it is the eyes of other people.
Benjamin Franklin
Give me 26 lead soldiers and I will conquer the world.
Benjamin Franklin
Everybody's human-everybody makes mistakes. If you laugh it off and keep going and try to give it your best the next time around, people respect that.
Benjamin Franklin
Be studious in your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least you will, by such conduct, stand the be.
Benjamin Franklin
If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth. Poor man, said I, you pay too much for your whistle.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason.
Benjamin Franklin
Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards in water.

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.
Benjamin Franklin
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes and this is not the work of a day.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
No gains without pains.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
... there is much truth in the Italian saying, 'Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you.'
Benjamin Franklin
You and I were long friends: you are now my enemy, and I am yours.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
Reckless youth makes rueful age.
Benjamin Franklin
