Benjamin Franklin Morning Quotations

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning.

The most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or at nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at the billiard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.

For Age and Want save while you may; No morning Sun lasts a whole day.

Often I sit up in my room reading the greatest part of the night, when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning, lest it should be missed or wanted.

I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning...

The early morning has gold in its mouth.

The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason: The Morning Daylight appears plainer when you put out your Candle.

I fear the man who drinks water and so remembers this morning what the rest of us said last night

Gentlemen, I have lived a long time and am convinced that God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? I move that prayer imploring the assistance of Heaven be held every morning before we proceed to business.

Bright as the day and as the morning fair, Such Cloe is, & common as the air.
