I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.

Every other sect supposes itself in possession of the truth, and that those who differ are so far in the wrong. Like a man traveling in foggy weather they see those at a distance before them wrapped up in a fog, as well as those behind them, and also people in the fields on each side; but near them, all appears clear, though in truth they are as much in the fog as any of them.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I wish it (Christianity) were ...

I wish it (Christianity) were more productive of good works ... I mean real good works ... not holy day keeping, sermon-hearing ... or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies.

What is the use of a new-born child ?

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

It is the will of God and Natu...

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?

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

A traveller should have a hog's nose, a deer's legs, and an ass's back.

A lie stands on one leg, truth on two.

Who is wise?
He that learns from everyone.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

One good husband is worth two ...

One good husband is worth two good wives, for the scarcer things are, the more they are valued.

The way to be safe is never to be secure.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Let no pleasure tempt thee, no profit allure thee, no persuasion move thee, to do anything which thou knowest to be evil; so shalt thou always live jollity; for a good conscience is a continual Christmas.
