More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure nothing more bondage than too much liberty.
Benjamin Franklin
Lost time is never found again, and what we call time enough, always proves little enough.
Benjamin Franklin
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see but I apprehend it has received various corrupting Changes and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity.
Benjamin Franklin
I have heard that nothing gives an Author so great Pleasure, as to find his works respectfully quoted by other learned authors.
Benjamin Franklin
He that hath a trade hath an estate and he that hath a calling hath a place of profit and honor. A ploughman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.
Benjamin Franklin
My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in polemic divinity, most of which I read, and have since often regretted that, at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge, more proper books had not fallen in my way since it was now resolved I should not be a clergyman.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.
Benjamin Franklin
Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Benjamin Franklin
Some men grow mad by studying much to know, But who grows mad by studying good to grow.
Benjamin Franklin
When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
At twenty years of age the will reigns at thirty, the wit and at forty, the judgment.
Benjamin Franklin
When Wine enters, out goes the Truth.
Benjamin Franklin
Be civil to all serviceable to many familiar with few friend to one enemy to none.
Benjamin Franklin
If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.
Benjamin Franklin
Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.
Benjamin Franklin
Fish and visitors stink in three days.
Benjamin Franklin
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Benjamin Franklin
