More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
Let the experiment be made.
Benjamin Franklin
All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing, and improving. They do that by asking WHY. After all, the person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be the boss.
Benjamin Franklin
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
Benjamin Franklin
He that would travel much, should eat little.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Who has deceived thee as oft as thyself.
Benjamin Franklin
Stand firm, don't flutter!
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
Beware the hobby that eats.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Benjamin Franklin
Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.
Benjamin Franklin
Hereafter, if you should observe an occasion to give your officers and friends a little more praise than is their due, and confess more fault than you can justly be charged with, you will only become the sooner for it, a great captain.
Benjamin Franklin
Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues. Be active in business, that temptation may miss her aim the bird that sits is easily shot.
Benjamin Franklin
If you have time don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
Benjamin Franklin
It is better to let 100 criminals go free than to imprison 1 innocent man.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
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
