More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.
Benjamin Franklin
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
Benjamin Franklin
Two passions have powerful influence on the affairs of men: the love of power and the love of money.
Benjamin Franklin
Love well, whip well.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in polemic divinity, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge, more proper books had not fallen in my way since it was now resolved I should not be a clergyman.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three sorts of people in the world: Those who are immovable, people who don't get it, or don't want to do anything about it there are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it and there are people who move, people who make things happen.
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
Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.
Benjamin Franklin
What is without us has no connection with happiness, only so far as the preservation of our lives and health depends upon it. . . . Happiness springs immediately from the mind.
Benjamin Franklin
An investment in education always pays the highest returns.
Benjamin Franklin
There is nothing so absurd as knowledge spun too fine.
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
You will find the key to success under the alarm clock.
Benjamin Franklin
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Benjamin Franklin
Avarice and Happiness never saw each other, how then should they become acquainted?
Benjamin Franklin
The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.
Benjamin Franklin
