  • What is the use of a new-born child ?

    On being asked what was the use of a new invention, in J. Parton 'Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin' (1864) pt. 4, ch. 17
  • If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be, as Poor Richard says, “the greatest prodigality'; since, as he elsewhere tells us, 'Lost time is never found again'; and 'What we call time enough always proves little enough'.

    Benjamin Franklin “Poor Richard Day by Day”, Lulu.com

Death is that way.

    Benjamin Franklin (1986). “The Autobiography and Other Writings”, p.246, Penguin
