Famous quotes containing the words franklin and/or square:

    “Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter, wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action: and therefore, in many cases, it would not be altogether absurd if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life.”
    —Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    “Houses haunt me.
    That last house!
    How it sat like a square box!”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
