Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was a scientist, revolutionist and forefather of the United States. The first thing children learn about this great man is the kite experiment for electricity. However, he did much more than that. Actually, he invented bifocals, lightening rods, the odometer, flexible urinary catheter, franklin stove, and the glass harmonica. He was truly a brilliant mind whose inventions have paved the way for many other advancements. Read some great Benjamin Franklin quotes below.


Beware of the young doctor and the old barber.
Many men die at twenty-five and aren't buried until they are seventy-five.
Lost time is never found again.
If you would be wealthy, think of saving as well as getting.
If Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
Energy and persistence conquer all thing.
No nation was ever ruined by trade.
Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.
The doors of wisdom are never shut. Well done is better than well said.
