More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Benjamin Franklin
America cultivates best what Germany brought forth.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is of a prolific generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more.
Benjamin Franklin
Three things are men most likely to be cheated in, a horse, a wig, and a wife.
Benjamin Franklin
When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.
Benjamin Franklin
Time eateth all things, could old poets say, The times are chang'd, our times drink all away.
Benjamin Franklin
The world is run by the people who show up.
Benjamin Franklin
I have thought that wild flowers might be the alphabet of angels, — whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious truths, which it is not given our fallen nature to understand.
Benjamin Franklin
I believe there is one Supreme most perfect being. [...] I believe He is pleased and delights in the happiness of those He has created and since without virtue man can have no happiness in this world, I firmly believe He delights to see me virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
Better slip with foot than tongue.
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
An education is the investment with the greatest returns.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
There was great difference in persons and discretion did not always accompany years, nor was youth always without it.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtues, of ... Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
Benjamin Franklin
La pereza anda tan despacio que la pobreza no tarda en alcanzarla.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.
Benjamin Franklin
If you, do what you should not, you must bear what you would not.
Benjamin Franklin
There is always room for the man of force.
Benjamin Franklin
A Brother may not be a Friend, but a Friend will always be a Brother.
Benjamin Franklin
