Benjamin Franklin
Hot things, sharp things, sweet things, cold things All rot the teeth, and make them look like old things.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Beware of meat twice boiled, and an old foe reconciled.
Benjamin Franklin
The discovery of a wine is of greater moment than the discovery of a constellation. The universe is too full of stars.
