I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have never entered into any...

I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one's temper and disturb one's quiet.

There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.

There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.

Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.

Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it.

When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.

When befriended, remember it; when you befriend, forget it.

Where there is a free government, and the people make their own laws by their representatives, I see no injustice in their obliging one another to take their own paper money.
