More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Man is a tool-making animal
Benjamin Franklin
Everybody's human-everybody makes mistakes. If you laugh it off and keep going and try to give it your best the next time around, people respect that.
Benjamin Franklin
You can not pluck roses without fear of thorns, Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns.
Benjamin Franklin
Is there anything men take more pains about than to render themselves unhappy?
Benjamin Franklin
The cat in gloves catches no mice.
Benjamin Franklin
Beer is God's way of telling us that he loves us and wants us to be happy.
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
He that won't be counseled can't be helped.
Benjamin Franklin
Force shites upon Reason's Back.
Benjamin Franklin
Evils come not, then our fears are vain And if they do fear but augments the pain.
Benjamin Franklin
Display is as false as it is costly.
Benjamin Franklin
People are best convinced by things they themselves discover.
Benjamin Franklin
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see but I apprehend it has received various corrupting Changes and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity.
Benjamin Franklin
It is much easier to suppress a first desire than to satisfy those that follow.
Benjamin Franklin
One day is worth a thousand tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin
He'll cheat without scruple, who can without fear.
Benjamin Franklin
When Wine enters, out goes the Truth.
Benjamin Franklin
A man is sometimes more generous when he has but a little money than when he has plenty, perhaps through fear of being thought to have but little.
Benjamin Franklin
