Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
The exact Quantity and Quality being found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Benjamin Franklin
I have heard that nothing gives an Author so great Pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors.
Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
Nothing preaches better than the act.
Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.

Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Life's Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends
Benjamin Franklin
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Benjamin Franklin
Graft good Fruit all, or graft not at all.
Benjamin Franklin
La pereza anda tan despacio que la pobreza no tarda en alcanzarla.
Benjamin Franklin
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that God governs in the affairs of men.
Benjamin Franklin
Hope and faith may be more firmly built upon charity, than charity upon faith and hope.
Benjamin Franklin
