More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Forewarn'd, forearm'd.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty—and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
Let thy vices die before thee.
Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin
A full Belly brings forth every Evil.
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
Courteous Reader, Astrology is one of the most ancient Sciences, held in high esteem of old, by the Wise and the Great. Formerly, no Prince would make War or Peace, nor any General fight in Battle, in short, no important affair was undertaken without first consulting an Astrologer.
Benjamin Franklin
If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.
Benjamin Franklin
I looked around for God's judgments, but saw no signs of them.
Benjamin Franklin
Have you something to do to-morrow do it to-day.
Benjamin Franklin
Cold & cunning come from the north: But cunning sans wisdom is nothing worth.
Benjamin Franklin
In the dark, all cats are grey.
Benjamin Franklin
Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
Benjamin Franklin
When you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests and their selfish views.
Benjamin Franklin
Reckless youth makes rueful age.
Benjamin Franklin
The problem with doing nothing is not knowing when you're finished.
Benjamin Franklin
The riches of a country are to be valued by the quantity of labor its inhabitants are able to purchase, and not by the quantity of silver and gold they possess which will purchase more or less labor, and therefore is more or less valuable, as is said before, according to its scarcity or plenty.
Benjamin Franklin
That Quantity that is sufficient, the Stomach can perfectly concoct and digest, and it sufficeth the due Nourishment of the Body.
Benjamin Franklin
When you're testing to see how deep water is, never use two feet.
Benjamin Franklin
