More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A false friend and a shadow attend only while the sun shines.
Benjamin Franklin
A fine genius in his own country is like gold in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.
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 think with you, that nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. Wise and good men are in my opinion, the strength of the state more so than riches or arms.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is said to be the last vice the good man gets clear of.
Benjamin Franklin
La pereza anda tan despacio que la pobreza no tarda en alcanzarla.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three sorts of people in the world: Those who are immovable, people who don't get it, or don't want to do anything about it there are people who are movable, people who see the need for change and are prepared to listen to it and there are people who move, people who make things happen.
Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin
Let the experiment be made.
Benjamin Franklin
Doing an injury puts you below your enemy revenging one make you but even with him forgiving it sets you above him.
Benjamin Franklin
Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.
Benjamin Franklin
Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.
Benjamin Franklin
The way to secure peace is to be prepared for war. They that are on their guard, and appear ready to receive their adversaries, are in much less danger of being attacked, than the supine, secure, and negligent.
Benjamin Franklin
The best is the cheapest.
Benjamin Franklin
That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a Maxim that has been long and generally approved.
Benjamin Franklin
There's small Revenge in Words, but Words may be greatly revenged
Benjamin Franklin
When men are employed they are best contented.
Benjamin Franklin
Do not do that which you would not have known.
Benjamin Franklin
