More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

The only time a question should be asked is when all other possibilities of finding the answer for yourself have been eliminated.

Those who govern, having much business on their hands, do not generally like to take the trouble of considering and carrying into execution new projects. The best public measures are therefore seldom adopted from previous wisdom, but forced by the occasion.
Benjamin Franklin
