Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or franklin:

    “Night makes no difference ‘twixt the Priest and Clerk;
    Joan as my Lady is as good i’ th’ dark.”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “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)
