More quotes by Benjamin Franklin
He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
There are no ugly loves nor handsome prisons.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
Historians relate not so much what is done as what they would have believed.
Benjamin Franklin
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
