More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
A man separated from his reflective belt is no man at all.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
The pleasures of this world are rather from God's goodness than our own merit.
Benjamin Franklin
He that lieth down with Dogs, shall rise up with Fleas.
Benjamin Franklin
Evil, as evil, can never be chosen and though evil is often the effect of our own choice, yet we never desire it but under the appearance of an imaginary good.

Benjamin Franklin
What signifies knowing the Names, if you know not the Natures of things.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Pride is said to be the last vice the good man gets clear of.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
When you're testing to see how deep water is, never use two feet.
Benjamin Franklin
I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night
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
Singularity in the right hath ruined many happy those who are convinced of the general opinion.
Benjamin Franklin
He that cannot obey, cannot command.
Benjamin Franklin
Wherever desirable superfluities are imported, industry is excited, and thereby plenty is produced. Were only necessaries permitted to be purchased, men would work no more than was necessary for that purpose.
Benjamin Franklin
Onions can make even Heirs and Widows weep.
Benjamin Franklin
