Write with the learned, pronounce with the vulgar.

What science can there be more...

What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative, than this of mathematics?

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

None are deceived but they tha...

None are deceived but they that confide.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Women and wine, game and deceit, make the wealth small, and the want great

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

The Difficulty lies, in finding out an exact Measure but eat for Necessity, not Pleasure, for Lust knows not where Necessity ends.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Don't misinform your Doctor no...

Don't misinform your Doctor nor your Lawyer.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

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.

Hope is an essential constituent of human life.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

It is the man and woman united...

It is the man and woman united that makes the complete human being. Separate she lacks his force of body and strength of reason; he her softness, sensibility and acute discernment. Together they are most likely to succeed in the world.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Take courage, Mortal... Death ...

Take courage, Mortal... Death cannot banish you from the Universe.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

Whether a Commonwealth suffers...

Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical pretenders to religion or by the openly profane? The most dangerous hypocrite in a Commonwealth is one who leaves the gospel for the sake of the law. A man compounded of law and gospel is able to cheat a whole country with his religion and then destroy them under color of law.

Benjamin Franklin 1856 quotes

I am in the prime of senility....

I am in the prime of senility.

Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.

Rules too soft are seldomly followed; rules too harsh are seldomly executed.

No European who has tasted savage life can afterwards bear to live in our societies.

The English love an insult. It's their only test of a man's sincerity.
