More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
Benjamin Franklin
Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
Benjamin Franklin
Praise little, dispraise less.
Benjamin Franklin
You may give give a man office, but you cannot give him discretion
Benjamin Franklin
Games lubricate the body and the mind.
Benjamin Franklin
Give me 26 lead soldiers and I will conquer the world.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
Disdain the chain, preserve your freedom and maintain your independency: be industrious and free be frugal and free.
Benjamin Franklin
Great spenders are bad lenders.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't think so much of your own Cunning, as to forget other Men's a Cunning Man is overmatched by a cunning Man and a Half.
Benjamin Franklin
A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose to the grindstone.
Benjamin Franklin
Opportunity is the great bawd.
Benjamin Franklin
I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
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
The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.
Benjamin Franklin
If thou hast wit and learning, add to it wisdom and modesty.
Benjamin Franklin
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Benjamin Franklin
[It was] the poverty caused by the bad influence of the English bankers on the Parliament which has caused in the colonies hatred of the English and . . . the Revolutionary War.
Benjamin Franklin
Take heed of the Vinegar of sweet Wine, and the Anger of Good-nature.
Benjamin Franklin
