"The doorstep to the temple of wisdom..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Pride is said to be the last vice the good man gets clear of.”

“He's a fool that makes his doctor his heir.”

“Industry pays debts, while despair increases them.”

“Without going outside, you may know the whole world!”

“The highest that we can attain to is not Knowledge, but Sympathy with Intelligence.”

“Grieve not that men do not know you;grieve that you do not know men.”

“The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.”

“Pride, ill nature, and want of sense are the three great sources of ill manners; without some one of these defects, no man will behave himself ill for want of experience, or what, in the language of fools, is called knowing the world.”

“How can he remember well his ignorance - which his growth requires - who has so often to use his knowledge?”
