Benjamin Franklin

"... he'd developed a style, making up for  a lack of poetic ability with a sly sense of humour and developing the condensed, pointed edge of the aphorism ... a method particularly suited to speaking out against old institutions ..."

"If you would not be forgotten,
as soon as you are dead and rotten, 
either write things worth reading,
or do things worth the writing."
Benjamin Franklin
