More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants.
Benjamin Franklin
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
Benjamin Franklin
A little Religion, and a little Honesty, goes a great way in Courts.
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
I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory words, Without vanity I may say, etc., but some vain thing immediately followed.
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
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
Benjamin Franklin
Some make Conscience of wearing a Hat in the Church, who make none of robbing the Altar.
Benjamin Franklin
What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative, than this of mathematics?
Benjamin Franklin
He that scatters thorns, let him not go barefoot.
Benjamin Franklin
Handle your tools without mittens.
Benjamin Franklin
Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
Benjamin Franklin
He does not possess wealth it possesses him.
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
Diligence is the mother of good luck.
Benjamin Franklin
All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing, and improving. They do that by asking WHY. After all, the person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be the boss.
Benjamin Franklin
To bear other people's afflictions, everyone has courage and enough to spare.
Benjamin Franklin
The next thing most like living one's life over again seems to be a recollection of that life, and to make that recollection as durable as possible by putting it down in writing.
Benjamin Franklin
Eat to live, not live to eat.
Benjamin Franklin
