Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?

What is the recipe for successful achievement? Choose a career you love. Give it the best there is in you. Seize your opportunities. And be a member of the team.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Women are books, and men the ...

Women are books, and men the readers be, Who sometimes in those books erratas see; Yet oft the reader's raptured with each line, Fair print and paper, fraught with sense divine; Tho' some, neglectful, seldom care to read, And faithful wives no more than bibles heed. Are women books? says Hodge, then would mine were An Almanack, to change her every year.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If any form of government is ...

If any form of government is capable of making a nation happy, ours I think bids fair now for producing that effect. But after all much depends upon the people who are governed.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I would rather have it said, 'He lived usefully,' than, 'He died rich.'

The two most beautiful sights...

The two most beautiful sights I have witnessed in my life are a full blown ship at sail and the round-bellied pregnant female.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

It is the will of God and Nat...

It is the will of God and Nature that these mortal bodies be laid aside, when the soul is to enter into real life; 'tis rather an embrio state, a preparation for living; a man is not completely born until he be dead: Why then should we grieve that a new child is born among the immortals?

The things which hurt, instruct.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

God heals, and the doctor tak...

God heals, and the doctor takes the fees. Energy and persistence conquer all things. He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! Oh, it's easier to keep Holidays than Commandments. Well done is better than well said.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

No man ought to own more prop...

No man ought to own more property than needed for his livelihood; the rest, by right, belonged to the state.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

He that would fish, must vent...

He that would fish, must venture his bait.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

As we benefit from the inventions of others, we should be glad to share our own ... freely and gladly.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If we are industrious, we sha...

If we are industrious, we shall never starve; for, at the workingman's house hunger looks in, but dares not enter. Nor will the bailiff or the constable enter, for industry pays debts, while despair increaseth them.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Teach your child to hold his tongue; he'll learn fast enough to speak.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Do you love life? Then don't ...

Do you love life? Then don't waste time, because time is life!

Praise to the undeserving is ...

Praise to the undeserving is severe satire.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Learn of the skillful; he that teaches himself, has a fool for his master.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

A perfect character might be ...

A perfect character might be attended with the inconvenience of being envied and hated; and that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.
