Benjamin Franklin

If men are so wicked as we now see them with religion what would they be if without it?

Benjamin Franklin

If our great view is upon those of the next, the expectation of them is an infinitely higher satisfaction than the enjoyment of those of the present.

Benjamin Franklin

If thou hast wit and learning, add to it wisdom and modesty.

Benjamin Franklin

If time be of all things most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality, since lost time is never found again; and what we call time enough always proves little enough. Let us then be up and doing, and doing to a purpose; so by diligence shall we do more with less perplexity

Benjamin Franklin

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.

Benjamin Franklin

If we can sleep without dreaming, it is well that painful dreams are avoided. If, while we sleep, we can have any pleasing dreams, it is as the French say, tant gagne, so much added to the pleasure of life.

Benjamin Franklin

If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.

Benjamin Franklin

If you desire many things, many things will seem few.

Benjamin Franklin

If you eat one another, I don’t see why we may not eat you.

Benjamin Franklin

If you have a secret and tell someone everyone will know. You can only keep a secret if you don’t tell anyone.
