More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Benjamin Franklin
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools, that don't have brains enough to be honest.
Benjamin Franklin
He'll cheat without scruple, who can without fear.
Benjamin Franklin
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
When you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests and their selfish views.
Benjamin Franklin
Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
Benjamin Franklin
It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride gets into the Coach, and Shame mounts behind.
Benjamin Franklin
Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.
Benjamin Franklin
Perhaps I'm too saucy or provoking?
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
Grace thou thy house and let not that grace thee.
Benjamin Franklin
To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
That the vegetable creation should restore the air which is spoiled by the animal part of it, looks like a rational system, and seems to be of a piece with the rest.
Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
They that will not be counseled, cannot be helped. If you do not hear reason she will rap you on the knuckles.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
