More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
My rule, in which I have always found satisfaction, is, never to turn aside in public affairs through views of private interest but to go straight forward in doing what appears to me right at the time, leaving the consequences with Providence.
Benjamin Franklin
Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open.
Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
Write to Please Yourself. When You write to Please Others You end up Pleasing No one.
Benjamin Franklin
