More quotes by Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
A ship under sail and a big-bellied woman, Are the handsomest two things that can be seen common.
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
Saying and Doing, have quarrel'd and parted.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Poverty, Poetry, and new Titles of Honor, make Men ridiculous
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Grace thou thy house and let not that grace thee.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself.
Benjamin Franklin

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
Benjamin Franklin
If all but myself were blind, I should want neither a fine house nor fine furniture.
Benjamin Franklin
There's no gain, without pain.
Benjamin Franklin
If Men are so wicked as we now see them with Religion what would they be if without it?
Benjamin Franklin
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
Benjamin Franklin
What is without us has no connection with happiness, only so far as the preservation of our lives and health depends upon it. . . . Happiness springs immediately from the mind.
Benjamin Franklin
The busy man has few idle visitors to the boiling pot the flies come not.
Benjamin Franklin
Creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times.
Benjamin Franklin
