More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Strict punctuality is a cheap virtue.
Benjamin Franklin
I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, make the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.
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
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
To be proud of virtue, is to poison yourself with the Antidote.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
When you are done changing, you're done.
Benjamin Franklin
God helps those who help themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
an enormous proportion of property vested in a few individuals is dangerous to the rights, and destructive of the common happiness of mankind, and, therefore, every free state hath a right by its laws to discourage the possession of such property.
Benjamin Franklin
Where there's no law, there's no bread.
Benjamin Franklin
