More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Take time for all things: great haste makes great waste.
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
Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards in water.
Benjamin Franklin
The nearest I can make it out, Love your Enemies means, Hate your Friends
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
Clean your finger before you point at my spots.
Benjamin Franklin
Would you live with ease, Do what you ought, and not what you please.
Benjamin Franklin
Nature performs the cure, the physician takes the fee.
Benjamin Franklin
The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy.
Benjamin Franklin
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence.
Benjamin Franklin
The exact Quantity and Quality being found out, is to be kept to constantly.
Benjamin Franklin
If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin
What good shall I do this day?
Benjamin Franklin
Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.
Benjamin Franklin
As often as we do good, we sacrifice.
Benjamin Franklin
It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go on
Benjamin Franklin
Governments having failed the people, the people are entirely justified in assuming for themselves an essential role in government. Where a government takes proper measures to protect the people under its care, such a proceeding might have been thought both unnecessary and unjustifiable: But here it is quite the Reverse.
Benjamin Franklin
If this lady is pleased to spend her days with Franklin, he would be just as pleased to spend his nights with her.
Benjamin Franklin
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.
Benjamin Franklin
Don't you know, that all wives are in the right? It may be you don't, for you are yet a young husband.
Benjamin Franklin
