More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
An investment in education always pays the highest returns.
Benjamin Franklin
And where is the Prince who can afford to so cover his country with troops for its defense, as that ten thousand men descending from the clouds, might not in many places do an infinite deal of mischief, before a force could be brought together to repel them?
Benjamin Franklin
By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.
Benjamin Franklin
Hope of gain lessens pain.
Benjamin Franklin
The best is the cheapest.
Benjamin Franklin
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin
If better is possible, good is not enough
Benjamin Franklin
He that sows Thorns, should never go barefoot.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!
Benjamin Franklin
To be proud of virtue, is to poison yourself with the Antidote.
Benjamin Franklin
Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
Benjamin Franklin
The used key is always bright.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation.
Benjamin Franklin
He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows nor judge all he sees.
Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
Sloth and Silence are a Fool's Virtues
Benjamin Franklin
The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends
Benjamin Franklin
If you want to make a friend, let someone do you a favor.
Benjamin Franklin
All things are cheap to the saving, dear to the wasteful
Benjamin Franklin
