Quotations from Benjamin Franklin

Eat to live, and not live to eat.

Necessity never made a good bargain.

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Tis easy to see, hard to foresee.

He that lieth down with dogs, shall rise up with fleas.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage,
half shut afterwards.

When the well's dry, we know the worth of water.

Does thou love life? Then do not squander time;
for that's the stuff life is made of.

Little strokes, Fell great oaks.

A country man between two lawyers, is like a fish
between two cats.

To err is human, to repent divine;
to persist devilish.

Glass, China, and Reputation, are easily crack'd,
and never well mended.

A good example is the best sermon.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

There was never a good war or a bad peace.
