More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
Great spenders are bad lenders.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat what you like, but dress for other people.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Benjamin Franklin
When you are done changing, you're done.
Benjamin Franklin
In rivers and bad governments the lightest things swim at top.
Benjamin Franklin
The wise and the brave dares own that he was wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
Time is money, be a better you.
Benjamin Franklin
He that steals the old man's supper does him no wrong.
Benjamin Franklin
A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin
Your argument is sound, nothing but sound.
Benjamin Franklin
A single man has not nearly the value he would have in a state of union. He is an incomplete animal. He resembles the odd half of a pair of scissors.
Benjamin Franklin
He'll cheat without scruple, who can without fear.
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
Rarely use Venery but for Health or Offspring Never to Dulness, Weakness, or the Injury of your own or another's Peace or Reputation.
Benjamin Franklin
He that speaks much, is much mistaken.
Benjamin Franklin
Graft good Fruit all, or graft not at all.
Benjamin Franklin
The securest place is a prison cell, but there is no liberty
Benjamin Franklin
