Benjamin Franklin
If better is possible, good is not enough
Benjamin Franklin
It is better to take many injuries than to give one.
Benjamin Franklin
Where there's no law, there's no bread.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
It might be judged an affront to your understanding should I go about to prove this first principle the existence of a Diety and that He is the Creator of the universe, for that would suppose you ignorant of what all mankind in all ages have agreed in.
Benjamin Franklin
Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical pretenders to religion or by the openly profane?

A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law.
Benjamin Franklin
Pity and forbearance should characterize all acts of justice.
Benjamin Franklin

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
If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.
Benjamin Franklin
Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.
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
A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.
Benjamin Franklin
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Benjamin Franklin
Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.
Benjamin Franklin
Vice knows she is ugly, so puts on her mask.
Benjamin Franklin
America cultivates best what Germany brought forth.
Benjamin Franklin
Proclaim not all though knowest, or all though owest.
Benjamin Franklin
The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty
Benjamin Franklin
