More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
The man that walks wit crowd, will get no farther than the crowd. The man that walks alone, will reach places unknown.
Benjamin Franklin
Poverty wants some things, Luxury many things, Avarice all things
Benjamin Franklin
All cats are gray in the dark.
Benjamin Franklin
Clean your finger before you point at my spots.
Benjamin Franklin
Kings have long arms, but Misfortune longer: let none think themselves out of her reach.
Benjamin Franklin
