More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A virtuous and industrious people may be cheaply governed.
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
You cannot always run from a weakness. You must sometime fight it out or perish.
Benjamin Franklin
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
Benjamin Franklin
When you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests and their selfish views.
Benjamin Franklin
Thank God! we are in the full enjoyment of all these privileges. 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
The best is the cheapest.
Benjamin Franklin
I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, Without vanity I may say, etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.
Benjamin Franklin
Before you consult your fancy, consult your purse.
Benjamin Franklin
Here Skugg lies snug As a bug in a rug.
Benjamin Franklin
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
Mary's mouth cost her nothing for she never opens it but at others' expense.
Benjamin Franklin
A greater Quantity of some things may be eaten than of others, some being of lighter Digestion than others.
Benjamin Franklin
Christians are directed to have faith in Christ, as the effectual means of obtaining the change they desire.
Benjamin Franklin
He who will not be counseled cannot be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
I think opinions should be judged by their influences and effects and if a man holds none that tend to make him less virtuous or more vicious, it may be concluded that he holds none that are dangerous, which I hope is the case with me.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not, however, mistake me. It is not to my good friend's heresy that I impute his honesty. On the contrary, 'tis his honesty that brought upon him the character of a heretic.
Benjamin Franklin
An honest Man will receive neither Money nor Praise that is not his due.
Benjamin Franklin
