Benjamin Franklin

For want of modesty is want of sense.

Benjamin Franklin

For when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected?

Benjamin Franklin

Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.

Benjamin Franklin

Freedom of speech is the great bulwark of liberty; they prosper and die together: And it is the terror of traitors and oppressors, and a barrier against them. It produces excellent writers, and encourages men of fine genius.

Benjamin Franklin

Gain may be temporary and uncertain; but ever while you live, expense is constant and certain: and it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.

Benjamin Franklin

Games lubricate the body and the mind.

Benjamin Franklin

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

Benjamin Franklin

Getting it done is my reward.

Benjamin Franklin

Give me 26 lead soldiers and I will conquer the world.

Benjamin Franklin

Give me yesterday’s bread, this day’s flesh, and last year’s cider
