More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
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
No longer virtuous no longer free is a Maxim as true with regard to a private Person as a Common-wealth.
Benjamin Franklin
He's gone, and forgot nothing but to say farewell to his creditors
Benjamin Franklin
Men are subject to various inconveniences merely through lack of a small share of courage, which is a quality very necessary in the common occurrences of life, as well as in a battle. How many impertinences do we daily suffer with great uneasiness, because we have not courage enough to discover our dislike.
Benjamin Franklin
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
Benjamin Franklin
Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency but in the world nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.
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
Private property...is the creature of society and is subject to the calls of that society even to the last farthing.
Benjamin Franklin
If you watch your pennies, the pounds will take care of themselves.
Benjamin Franklin
When nature gave us tears, She gave us leave to weep.
Benjamin Franklin
The English love an insult. It's their only test of a man's sincerity.
Benjamin Franklin
Let thy maid servant be faithful, strong, and homely.
Benjamin Franklin
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
Benjamin Franklin
By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.
Benjamin Franklin
Great spenders are bad lenders.
Benjamin Franklin
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Benjamin Franklin
Where sense is wanting, everything is wanting.
Benjamin Franklin
Beer is God's way of telling us that he loves us and wants us to be happy.
Benjamin Franklin
