Famous quotes containing the words watts, franklin and/or square:

    Now shall my inward joys arise,
    And burst into a song;
    Almighty love inspires my heart,
    And pleasure tunes my tongue.
    —Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

    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)

    A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards. More than that no man is entitled to, and less than that no man shall have.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
