Benjamin Franklin

  • Experience keeps a dear school, yet fools will learn in no other.
  • The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
  • All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move.
  • Human felicity is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day.
  • Where there is Marriage without Love, there will be Love without Marriage.
  • Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
  • Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of. Remember, that time is money.
  • Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.
  • Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
  • Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade.
  • At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.
  • Well done is better than well said.
  • It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
  • You may delay, but time will not.
  • Never confuse motion with action.
  • He that blows the coals in quarrels that he has nothing to do with, has no right to complain if the sparks fly in his face.
  • Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame. Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is.
