I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

History will also give occasi...

History will also give occasion to expatiate on the advantage of civil orders and constitutions; how men and their properties are protected by joining in societies and establishing government; their industry encouraged and rewarded, arts invented, and life made more comfortable; the advantages of liberty, mischiefs of licentiousness, benefits arising from good laws and a due execution of justice. Thus may the first principles of sound politics be fixed in the minds of youth.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you give up your freedom for safety, you don't deserve either one

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and likes to see us happy.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

He that pays for work before ...

He that pays for work before it's done, has but a pennyworth for two pence.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Ambition has its disappointme...

Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good fortune to satisfy us. Its appetite grows keener by indulgence and all we can gratify it with at present serves but the more to inflame its insatiable desires.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

You will discover 3 trustworthy mates, an aged wife, an aged canine, and ready dollars.

Death is a fisherman, the wor...

Death is a fisherman, the world we see His fish-pond is, and we the fishes be; His net some general sickness; howe'er he Is not so kind as other fishers be; For if they take one of the smaller fry, They throw him in again, he shall not die: But death is sure to kill all he can get, And all is fish with him that comes to net.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Make the best use of both time and money. Add industry and frugal dealings if they pay very well and if you're free to it.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Those who are willing to forf...

Those who are willing to forfeit liberty for security will have neither.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

E'er you remark another's sin...

E'er you remark another's sin, bid your own conscience look within.

The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the fool from his friends

A flatterer never seems absurd: The flatter'd always takes his word.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Friends and neighbors complai...

Friends and neighbors complain that taxes are indeed very heavy, and if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might the more easily discharge them; but we have many others, and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our idleness, three times as much by our pride, and four times as much by our folly.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

How can any Action be meritor...

How can any Action be meritorious of Praise or Dispraise, Reward or Punishment, when the natural Principle of Self-Love is the only and the irresistible Motive to it?

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Wherever desirable superfluit...

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 1856 quotes

Proclaim not all thou knowest...

Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
