More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Innocence is its own defense.
Benjamin Franklin
When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
Benjamin Franklin
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on
Benjamin Franklin
You can not pluck roses without fear of thorns, Nor enjoy a fair wife without danger of horns.
Benjamin Franklin
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
Without industry and frugality, nothing will do with them, everything.
Benjamin Franklin
Trusting too much to others care is the ruin of many.
Benjamin Franklin
Hereafter, if you should observe an occasion to give your officers and friends a little more praise than is their due, and confess more fault than you can justly be charged with, you will only become the sooner for it, a great captain.
Benjamin Franklin
None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.
Benjamin Franklin
What I am to be, I am now becoming.
Benjamin Franklin
They who have nothing to trouble them, will be troubled at nothing.
Benjamin Franklin
Opportunity is the great bawd.
Benjamin Franklin
Beer is God's way of telling us that he loves us and wants us to be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
Benjamin Franklin
Be not sick too late, nor well too soon
Benjamin Franklin
Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.
Benjamin Franklin
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Benjamin Franklin
... there is much truth in the Italian saying, 'Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you.'
Benjamin Franklin
God helps those who help themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
The busy man has few idle visitors to the boiling pot the flies come not.
Benjamin Franklin
