As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.

An egg today is better than a hen to-morrow.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

In my youth, I traveled much,...

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 1856 quotes

If you would have a faithful servant, and one that you like, serve yourself.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

He that raises a large family...

He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: 'This is my country.'

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.

From a child I was fond of reading, and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books. Pleased with the 'Pilgrim's Progress,' my first collection was of John Bunyan's works in separate little volumes.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Gain may be temporary and unc...

Gain may be temporary and uncertain; but ever while you live, expense is constant and certain: and it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.

If you know how to spend less...

If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours.

He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner.
