Benjamin Franklin

Scarcely have I ever heard or read the introductory phrase, I may say without vanity, but some striking and characteristic instance of vanity has immediately followed.
Benjamin Franklin
When you are done changing, you're done.
Benjamin Franklin
Passion governs, and she never governs wisely.
Benjamin Franklin
Pride is as loud a beggar as want, and a great deal more saucy
