More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
One of the advantages of being a 'reasonable creature' is that one can find a reason for whatever one wants to do.
Benjamin Franklin
The US Constitution only guarantees your rights as a citizen, it doesn't guarantee happiness. It may take work, but if you have your rights, happiness is very possible.
Benjamin Franklin
If we are industrious, we shall never starve for, at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. Nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while despair increaseth them.
Benjamin Franklin
Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.
Benjamin Franklin
Perhaps I'm too saucy or provoking?
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy. When you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more, that your appearance may be all of a piece but it is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Benjamin Franklin
Christians are directed to have faith in Christ, as the effectual means of obtaining the change they desire.
Benjamin Franklin
If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed.
Benjamin Franklin
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
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
If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one
Benjamin Franklin
Common sense is something that everyone needs, few have, and none think they lack.
Benjamin Franklin
The exact Quantity and Quality being found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Benjamin Franklin
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
Benjamin Franklin
If you have time don't wait for time.
Benjamin Franklin
To get the bad customs of a country changed and new ones, though better, introduced, it is necessary first to remove the prejudices of the people, enlighten their ignorance, and convince them that their interests will be promoted by the proposed changes and this is not the work of a day.
Benjamin Franklin
Praise little, dispraise less.
Benjamin Franklin
The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.
Benjamin Franklin
Let our Fathers and Grandfathers be valued for their Goodness, ourselves for our own.
Benjamin Franklin
People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.
Benjamin Franklin
