More quotes by 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

Benjamin Franklin
Forewarn'd, forearm'd.
Benjamin Franklin
Without justice, courage is weak.
Benjamin Franklin
Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy. At least, you will by such conduct, stand the best chance for such consequences.

Benjamin Franklin
Revealed religion has no weight with me.

Benjamin Franklin
Teach your child to hold his tongue he'll learn fast enough to speak.
Benjamin Franklin
Neglect kills injuries, revenge increases them.
Benjamin Franklin
The art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing.
Benjamin Franklin
I would advise you to read with a pen in your hand and enter in a little book short hints of what you feel that is common or that may be useful for this will be the best method of imprinting such portcullis in your memory.
