Benjamin Franklin
In other men we faults can spy,/ And blame the mote that dims their eye/ Each little speck and blemish find/ To our own stronger errors blind.
Benjamin Franklin
Hot things, sharp things, sweet things, cold things All rot the teeth, and make them look like old things.
Benjamin Franklin
