There are more old drunkards ...

There are more old drunkards than old doctors.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

You will see in this my notio...

You will see in this my notion of good works, that I am far from expecting to merit heaven by them. By heaven we understand a state of happiness, infinite in degree, and eternal in duration. I can do nothing to deserve such rewards... Even the mixed imperfect pleasures we enjoy in this world, are rather from God's goodness than our merit, how much more such happiness of heaven!

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

We have been assured, Sir, in...

We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it' I firmly believe this; by our partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and a by word down to future ages.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Give me 26 lead soldiers and I will conquer the world.

Some make Conscience of wearing a Hat in the Church, who make none of robbing the Altar.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If your head is made of wax, ...

If your head is made of wax, don't walk in the sun

I am about courting a girl I have had but little acquaintance with. How shall I come to a knowledge of her faults, and whether she has the virtues I imagine she has? Answer. Commend her among her female acquaintances.

Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

The electrical matter consist...

The electrical matter consists of particles extremely subtile, since it can permeate common matter, even the densest metals, with such ease and freedom as not to receive any perceptible resistance.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you would not be forgotten...

If you would not be forgotten, do things worth remembering.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If anyone should doubt whethe...

If anyone should doubt whether the electrical matter passes through the substance of bodies, or only over along their surfaces, a shock from an electrified large glass jar, taken through his own body, will probably convince him.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

There have been as great souls unknown to fame as any of the most famous.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and parliaments. If we can get rid of the former, we may easily bear the latter.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

So convenient a thing to be a...

So convenient a thing to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

There is nothing wrong with retirement as long as one doesn't allow it to interfere with one's work.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Let me resolve to be virtuous...

Let me resolve to be virtuous, that I may be happy, that I may please Him, who is delighted to see me happy. Amen.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

The purpose of money was to purchase one's freedom to pursue that which is useful and interesting.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

The most trifling actions tha...

The most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or at nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at the billiard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

What is without us has no con...

What is without us has no connection with happiness, only so far as the preservation of our lives and health depends upon it. . . . Happiness springs immediately from the mind.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

A little sturdiness when superiors are much in the wrong sometimes occasions consideration. And there is truth in the old saying that if you make yourself a sheep, the wolves will eat you.
