More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
An honest Man will receive neither Money nor Praise that is not his due.
Benjamin Franklin
The Sting of a reproach, is the Truth of it.
Benjamin Franklin
He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.
Benjamin Franklin
We are not so sensible of the greatest Health as of the least Sickness.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't halloo until you're out of the wood.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
What is without us has no connection with happiness, only so far as the preservation of our lives and health depends upon it. . . . Happiness springs immediately from the mind.
Benjamin Franklin
Lost time is never found again, and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.
Benjamin Franklin
Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical pretenders to religion or by the openly profane? The most dangerous hypocrite in a Commonwealth is one who leaves the gospel for the sake of the law. 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
They who have nothing to trouble them, will be troubled at nothing.
Benjamin Franklin
Great spenders are bad lenders.
Benjamin Franklin
Money is of a prolific generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more.
Benjamin Franklin
