More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Approve not of him who commends all you say.
Benjamin Franklin
Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions, and spend one penny less than thy clear gains then shall thy pocket begin to thrive creditors will not insult, nor want oppress, nor hungerness bite, nor nakedness freeze thee
Benjamin Franklin
When religion is good, it will take care of itself. When it is not able to take care of itself, and God does not see fit to take care of it, so that it has to appeal to the civil power for support, it is evidence to my mind that its cause is a bad one.
Benjamin Franklin
If Pride leads the Van, Beggary brings up the Rear.
Benjamin Franklin
The first Degree of Folly, is to conceit one's self wise the second to profess it the third to despise Counsel.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
I believe there is one Supreme most perfect being. [...] I believe He is pleased and delights in the happiness of those He has created and since without virtue man can have no happiness in this world, I firmly believe He delights to see me virtuous.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue may not always make a Face handsome, but Vice will certainly make it ugly.
Benjamin Franklin
Finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist.
Benjamin Franklin
I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, Without vanity I may say, etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.
Benjamin Franklin
Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Benjamin Franklin
One today is worth two tomorrows. Lost time is never found again. Time is money. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of. You may delay, but time will not.
Benjamin Franklin
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of Morals and his Religion, as he left them to us, the best the World ever saw or is likely to see but I apprehend it has received various corrupting Changes and I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity.
Benjamin Franklin
You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?
Benjamin Franklin
Love, Cough, & a Smoke, can't well be hid.
Benjamin Franklin
