Love Ben Franklin quotes. Think there’s at least one on your post that I had not seen before. Thanks! 😊
He sounds and so many famous ones. Death and taxes was the the first one of his I heard and still so true. That first one should be above every writer’s desk.
Ah, my favorite forefather! I love his biography, his maxims, his wise approach to life–everything. What a wacky, great guy!
He sure sounds a character. Can you imagine going back in time and having a chat with him?
Lots of great stuff here, but this is my favorite…

Philadelphia’s original hometown hero. He certainly had a lot of wisdom to pass on!
I didn’t not know he was from there. Does he have a really good statue?
Several! At the Franklin Institute (Science Museum) there’s a Memorial Statue. And a couple more around town.
That’s really cool.
Perhaps my favourite Founding Father. Did you know he was a fashion icon in France?
I did not know that! The things I learn from the blogging community 😃
Likewise!
Too smart dude 🤓😜
Ah thanks. Oh no wait you mean him 😛
Haha yep
Nice share, these quotes are very much appealing.

Love all of these.
