He that pursues two hares at ...

He that pursues two hares at once, does not catch one and lets the other go.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

None but the well-bred man kn...

None but the well-bred man knows how to confess a fault, or acknowledge himself in an error.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

When you incline to have new ...

When you incline to have new clothes, look first well over the old ones, and see if you cannot shift with them another year, either by scouring, mending, or even patching if necessary. Remember, a patch on your coat, and money in your pocket, is better and more creditable, than a writ on your back, and no money to take it off.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Let every fart count as a pea...

Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

A little neglect may breed great mischief. ... For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; for want of a horse, the battle was lost; for want of the battle, the war was lost.

Arguing is a game that two ca...

Arguing is a game that two can play at. But it is a strange game in that neither opponent ever wins.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have sometimes almost wished it had been my destiny to be born two or three centuries hence.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you teach a poor young man...

If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If I could see one live show ...

If I could see one live show before I died, I'd see Lucy Angel

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I am lord of myself, accountable to none.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Don't put off until tomorrow ...

Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you would keep your secret...

If you would keep your secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you teach a poor young man...

If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

We are more heavily taxed by our idleness, pride and folly than we are taxed by government.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation.

The second vice is lying, the first is running in debt.

He is not well bred, that cannot bear ill breeding in others

Look before, or you'll find yourself behind.
