More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
If you wou'd have Guests merry with your cheer, Be so your self, or so at least appear.
Benjamin Franklin
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Benjamin Franklin
Graft good Fruit all, or graft not at all.
Benjamin Franklin
I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.
Benjamin Franklin
A friend in need is a friend indeed!
Benjamin Franklin
He that drinks his Cyder alone, let him catch his Horse alone.
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
To expect people to be good, to be just, to be temperate, etc., without showing them how they should become so, seems like the ineffectual charity mentioned by the apostle, which consisted in saying to the hungry, the cold and the naked, be ye fed, be ye warmed, be ye clothed, without showing them how they should get food, fire or clothing.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
In humility imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy
Benjamin Franklin
Do not let fancy outrun your means.
Benjamin Franklin
Life's Tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
Benjamin Franklin
He that speaks ill of the mare will buy her.
Benjamin Franklin
Rarely use Venery but for Health or Offspring Never to Dulness, Weakness, or the Injury of your own or another's Peace or Reputation.
Benjamin Franklin
He that drinks fast, pays slow.
Benjamin Franklin
Often I sit up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning, lest it should be missed or wanted.
Benjamin Franklin
A highwayman is as much a robber when he plunders in a gang as when single and a nation that makes an unjust war is only a great gang.
Benjamin Franklin
Wink at small faults remember thou hast great ones.
Benjamin Franklin
