More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
Benjamin Franklin
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
Benjamin Franklin
Hold your Council before Dinner the full Belly hates Thinking as well as Acting.
Benjamin Franklin
The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.
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

Benjamin Franklin
Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure nothing more bondage than too much liberty.
Benjamin Franklin
That Quantity that is sufficient, the Stomach can perfectly concoct and digest, and it sufficeth the due Nourishment of the Body.
Benjamin Franklin
Scarcely have I ever heard or read the introductory phrase, I may say without vanity, but some striking and characteristic instance of vanity has immediately followed.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember this Saying, 'That the good Paymaster is Lord of another Man's Purse.' He that is known to pay punctually and exactly to the Time he promises, may at any Time, and on any Occasion, raise all the Money his Friends can spare.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
Benjamin Franklin
Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
Benjamin Franklin
