Benjamin Franklin
Let every fart count as a peal of thunder for liberty. Let every fart remind the nation of how much it has let pass out of its control. It is a small gesture, but one that can be very effective - especially in a large crowd. So fart, and if you must, fart often. But always fart without apology. Fart for freedom, fart for liberty - and fart proudly.
Benjamin Franklin
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Benjamin Franklin
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
Benjamin Franklin
Your argument is sound, nothing but sound.
Benjamin Franklin
