More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
You and I were long friends: you are now my enemy, and I am yours.
Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not do that which you would not have known.
Benjamin Franklin
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Benjamin Franklin
Knowledge of the investment is most profitable
Benjamin Franklin
Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.
Benjamin Franklin
Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.
Benjamin Franklin
Are you angry that others disappoint you? Remember you cannot depend upon yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.
Benjamin Franklin
There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.
Benjamin Franklin
God grant, that not only the Love of Liberty, but a thorough Knowledge of the Rights of Man, may pervade all the Nations of the Earth, so that a Philosopher may set his Foot anywhere on its Surface, and say, 'This is my Country.'
Benjamin Franklin
He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.
Benjamin Franklin
Marriage is the most natural state of man, and therefore the state in which one is most likely to find solid happiness.
Benjamin Franklin
If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.
Benjamin Franklin
I would rather have it said, 'He lived usefully,' than, 'He died rich.'
Benjamin Franklin
In the dark, all cats are grey.
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
Avarice and Happiness never saw each other, how then should they become acquainted?
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin
Innocence is its own defense.
Benjamin Franklin
