A Quote by Benjamin Franklin

There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous. — © Benjamin Franklin
There never was a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness and I pronounce it as certain that there was never a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous.
Time, for a man who has never truly felt a second of it, it not a great sacrifice
The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation, because in the degradation of women, the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.

He is truly great that is great in charity. He is truly great that is little in himself, and maketh no account of any height of honor. And he is truly learned that doeth the will of God, and forsaketh his own will.
Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
The man who is meek is not even sensitive about himself. He is not always watching himself and his own interests. He is not always on the defensive… To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defending… The man who is truly meek never pities himself, he is never sorry for himself. He never talks to himself and says, “You are having a hard time, how unkind these people are not to understand you.
He is a truly virtuous man who wishes always to be open to the observation of honest men.
There has never been a man mean and at the same time virtuous.
I am sorry about the person who is not truly excited about his job. He will not only never truly be happy there, but he won't achieve anything great.
Nothing is truly infamous, but what is wicked; and therefore shame can never disturb an innocent and virtuous mind.
If we are truly created equal than truly the love we commit to one another must be equal as well, this ruling will strengthen all of our communities by offering to all same sex couples the dignity of marriage across this great land.
You have a great destiny before you. This is your moment! I truly believe that one virtuous young woman, led by the Spirit, can change the world.
It is not while beauty And youth are thine own And thy cheeks Unprofaned by a tear That the ferver and faith Of a soul can be known To which time will but Make thee more dear No the heart that has truly loved Never forgets But as truly loves On to the close As the sunflower turns On her god when he sets The same look which She'd turned when he rose.
In my study I can lay my hand on the Bible in the pitch dark. All truly inspired ideas come from God. The powers from which all truly great composers like Mozart, Schubert, Bach and Beethoven drew their inspirations is the same power that enabled Jesus to do his miracles.
A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.
