Famous quotes containing the words franklin and/or milton:
“If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.”
—Benjamin Franklin (17061790)
“O dearly-bought revenge, yet glorious!
Living or dying thou hast fulfilld
The work for which thou wast foretold
To Israel, and now lyst victorious
Among thy slain self-killd
Not willingly, but tangld in the fold
Of dire necessity”
—John Milton (16081674)
