I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that God governs in the affairs of men.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Laws without morals are in vain.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

If you do not exclude them, i...

If you do not exclude them, in less than 200 years our descendants will be working in the fields to furnish them substance, while they will be in the counting houses rubbing their hands. I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude Jews for all time, your children will curse you in your graves.

A man in a passion, rides a mad horse.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

The way to wealth is as plain...

The way to wealth is as plain as the way to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality: that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality nothing will do, and with them everything.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have thought that wild flow...

I have thought that wild flowers might be the alphabet of angels, — whereby they write on hills and fields mysterious truths, which it is not given our fallen nature to understand.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have so much faith in the general government of the world by Providence that I can hardly conceive a transaction of such momentous importance [as the framing of the Constitution] ... should be suffered to pass without being in some degree influenced, guided, and governed by that omnipotent, omnipresent, and beneficent Ruler in whom all inferior spirits live and move and have their being.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Experience is the best teacher, but a fool will learn from no other.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

So much for industry, my frie...

So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

All would live long, but none would be old.

The borrower is a slave to the lender and the debtor to the creditor.

When you are in debt, then you are a slave.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, make the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Necessity knows no law; I know some attorneys of the same.

Don't misinform your Doctor nor your Lawyer.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Sloth makes all things diffic...

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy; and he that riseth late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Glass, China, and Reputation,...

Glass, China, and Reputation, are easily cracked, and never well mended.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Enjoy the present hour, be mindful of the past; And neither fear nor wish the Approaches of the last. Learn of the skillful: He that teaches himself, hath a fool for his master.

Don't throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.

Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.
