Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
Benjamin Franklin
Never confuse motion with action.
Benjamin Franklin
We are a kind of posterity in respect to them.
Benjamin Franklin
