More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Let our Fathers and Grandfathers be valued for their Goodness, ourselves for our own.
Benjamin Franklin
He that doth what he should not, shall feel what he would not.
Benjamin Franklin
To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Be studious in your profession, and you will be learned. Be industrious and frugal, and you will be rich. Be sober and temperate, and you will be healthy. Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least you will, by such conduct, stand the be.
