Benjamin Franklin
Lawyers, Preachers, and Tomtits Eggs, there are more of them hatch'd than come to perfection.
Benjamin Franklin
One good husband is worth two good wives, for the scarcer things are, the more they are valued.
Benjamin Franklin
Necessity knows no law I know some attorneys of the same.
Benjamin Franklin
Nor eye in a letter, nor hand in a purse, nor ear in the secret of another.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Dangerous, therefore, is it to take shelter under a tree, during a thunder-gust. It has been fatal to many, both men and beasts.
Benjamin Franklin
Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.
Benjamin Franklin
Admiration is the daughter of ignorance.
Benjamin Franklin
If I knew a miser, who gave up every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow-citizens, and the joys of benevolent friendship, for the sake of accumulating wealth. Poor man, said I, you pay too much for your whistle.
Benjamin Franklin
