More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
'tis his honesty that brought upon him the character of a heretic.
Benjamin Franklin
The great secret of succeeding in conversation is to admire little, to hear much always to distrust our own reason, and sometimes that of our friends never to pretend to wit, but to make that of others appear as much as possibly we can to hearken to what is said and to answer to the purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
I think with you, that nothing is of more importance for the public weal, than to form and train up youth in wisdom and virtue. Wise and good men are in my opinion, the strength of the state more so than riches or arms.
Benjamin Franklin
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
Benjamin Franklin
If you want to make a friend, let someone do you a favor.
Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

Benjamin Franklin
On the whole, though I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, but fell far short of it, yet I was, by the endeavor, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been had I not attempted it.
Benjamin Franklin
Neither a Fortress nor a Maidenhead will hold out long after they begin to parley.
Benjamin Franklin
Historians relate not so much what is done as what they would have believed.
Benjamin Franklin
We are not certain, we are never certain. If we were we could reach some conclusions, and we could, at last, make others take us seriously. In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors have better memories than debtors.
Benjamin Franklin
We must hang together, gentlemen...else, we shall most assuredly hang separately.
Benjamin Franklin
Knowledge of the investment is most profitable
Benjamin Franklin
While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.
Benjamin Franklin
The thrifty maxim of the wary Dutch, Is to save all the Money they can touch
Benjamin Franklin
To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions.
Benjamin Franklin
A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin
