More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes and this is not the work of a day.
Benjamin Franklin
I consent Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure, that it is not the best.
Benjamin Franklin
We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.
Benjamin Franklin
Speak with contempt of none, from slave to king, The meanest Bee hath, and will use, a sting.
Benjamin Franklin
Common sense is something that everyone needs, few have, and none think they lack.
Benjamin Franklin
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on
Benjamin Franklin
The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.
Benjamin Franklin
The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.
Benjamin Franklin
Joy doesn't exist in the world, it exists in us.
Benjamin Franklin
A fat kitchin, a lean Will.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't cry over spilled milk
Benjamin Franklin
Do not do that which you would not have known.
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
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.
Benjamin Franklin
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
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you live with ease, Do what you ought, and not what you please.
Benjamin Franklin
He's a fool who cannot conceal his wisdom.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue may not always make a Face handsome, but Vice will certainly make it ugly.
Benjamin Franklin
I believe long habits of virtue have a sensible effect on the countenance.
Benjamin Franklin
