Famous quotes containing the words franklin, middle and/or school:

    No nation was ever ruined by trade.
    —Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    Parisians are so besotted, so silly and so naturally inept that a street player, a seller of indulgences, a mule with its cymbals, a fiddler in the middle of a crossroads, will draw more people than would a good Evangelist preacher.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    And this school wasn’t keeping anymore,
    Unless for penitents who took their seat
    Upon its doorsteps as at mercy’s feet
    To make up for a lack of meditation.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
