More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A child thinks 20 shillings and 20 years can never be spent.
Benjamin Franklin
Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
A good spouse and health is a person's best wealth.
Benjamin Franklin
You may sometimes be much in the Wrong, in owning your being in the Right.
Benjamin Franklin
Without industry and frugality, nothing will do with them, everything.
Benjamin Franklin
Thank God! we are in the full enjoyment of all these privileges. But can we be taught to prize them too much? or how can we prize them equal to their value, if we do not know their intrinsic worth, and that they are not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature?
Benjamin Franklin
The most acceptable service of God is doing good to man.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride gets into the Coach, and Shame mounts behind.
Benjamin Franklin
Do well by doing good.
Benjamin Franklin
To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.
Benjamin Franklin
By playing at Chess then, we may learn... First: Foresight. Second: Circumspection. Third: Caution.
Benjamin Franklin
Revealed religion has no weight with me.
Benjamin Franklin
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Benjamin Franklin
Why does the blind man's wife paint herself.
Benjamin Franklin
Where liberty is, there is my country.
Benjamin Franklin
Reckless youth makes rueful age.
Benjamin Franklin
Why should I give my Readers bad lines of my own when good ones of other People's are so plenty?
Benjamin Franklin
... there is much truth in the Italian saying, 'Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you.'
Benjamin Franklin
