More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Thank God! we are in the full enjoyment of all these privileges. But can we be taught to prize them too much? or how can we prize them equal to their value, if we do not know their intrinsic worth, and that they are not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature?
Benjamin Franklin
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
'Tis true there is much to be done, . . . but stick to it steadily, and you will see great effects, for constant dropping wears away stones . . . and little strokes fell great oaks, as Poor Richard says. . . .
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
By the word simplicity, is not always meant folly or ignorance but often, pure and upright Nature, free from artifice, craft or deceitful ornament.
Benjamin Franklin
Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues. Be active in business, that temptation may miss her aim the bird that sits is easily shot.
Benjamin Franklin
Grace thou thy house and let not that grace thee.
Benjamin Franklin
Your best investment is to pour your purse into your head, and no one can take it away from you.
Benjamin Franklin
As charms are nonsense, nonsense is a charm.
Benjamin Franklin
Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
Benjamin Franklin
Lawyers, Preachers, and Tomtits Eggs, there are more of them hatch'd than come to perfection.
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
Don't halloo until you're out of the wood.
Benjamin Franklin
A little neglect may breed great mischief. ... For want of a nail, the shoe was lost for want of a shoe, the horse was lost for want of a horse, the battle was lost for want of the battle, the war was lost.
Benjamin Franklin
Display is as false as it is costly.
Benjamin Franklin
Why should I give my Readers bad lines of my own when good ones of other People's are so plenty?
Benjamin Franklin
Those who give up liberty for the sake of security, deserve neither liberty nor security.
Benjamin Franklin
All cats are gray in the dark.
Benjamin Franklin
Take a coin from your purse and invest it in your mind. It will come pouring out of your mind and overflow your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin
