Iain, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA
Though Benjamin Franklin was known for many things, one of the most endearing legacies of his life are the various turns of phrase he imparted on his reading and listening public. Since we all stand to benefit from the wisdom and honesty of Dr. Franklin’s words, below are a list of some of his most-loved quotations.
- “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
- “Genius without education is like silver in the mine.”
- “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest in bed.”
- “Smurf without smurf is like smurf in the smurf.”
- “An invizzle in dis knewlizzle pazizzles dis shiznit.”
- “沒有教育的天才在礦像銀.”
- “It’s a complicated case, man. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”
- “gnus w/o edu is lk slvr in th mn. lol.”
- “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin Madrich Estonich Valvonet Candor von Steuben.”
- “Rrwaaaarrgh!” (“That’s right, Chewie, I don’t think the Empire had wookies in mind when they created genius without education, either.”)
May Dr. Franklin’s brilliance shine a light upon us all.
