Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
One day is worth a thousand tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
He that is conscious of a stink in his breeches is [suspicious] of every wrinkle in another's nose.

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
A fat kitchin, a lean Will.
Benjamin Franklin
It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.
Benjamin Franklin
The only time a question should be asked is when all other possibilities of finding the answer for yourself have been eliminated.
Benjamin Franklin
Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty they prosper and die together: And it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them. It produces excellent writers, and encourages men of fine genius.
Benjamin Franklin
Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
The foundation of all happiness in thinking rightly.
Benjamin Franklin
There was never a good war, or a bad peace.
Benjamin Franklin
A perfect character might be attended with the inconvenience of being envied and hated and that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.
Benjamin Franklin
