More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Image
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

There is no little enemy
Benjamin Franklin
Image
As often as we do good, we sacrifice.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Do not, however, mistake me. It is not to my good friend's heresy that I impute his honesty. On the contrary, 'tis his honesty that brought upon him the character of a heretic.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Image
We can defer, yet time is most certainly not.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Image
It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Mankind are dastardly when they meet with opposition.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
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
