Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Money makes money. And the money that makes money makes more money.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
I wish to live without committing any fault at any time.
Benjamin Franklin
America cultivates best what Germany brought forth.

Benjamin Franklin
Cut the Wings of your Hens and Hopes, lest they lead you a weary Dance after them.
Benjamin Franklin
Who has deceived thee as oft as thyself.
Benjamin Franklin
Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
Benjamin Franklin
Nature performs the cure, the physician takes the fee.
Benjamin Franklin
Little rogues easily become great ones.
Benjamin Franklin
Practice makes perfect.
Benjamin Franklin
I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows.
Benjamin Franklin
