Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin
He that doth what he should not, shall feel what he would not.

Scarcely was I arrived at fifteen years of age, when, after having doubted in turn of different tenets, according as I found them combated in the different books that I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself.
Benjamin Franklin
Practice makes perfect.
Benjamin Franklin
