"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes"
- Benjamin Franklin
About this Quote
This quote by Benjamin Franklin is a pointer that life is unpredictable which there are particular constants that we should accept. Death and taxes are two of the most certain things in life, and they are both unavoidable. Death is a natural part of life, and taxes are a necessary part of living in a society. This quote works as a pointer that no matter how much we plan and prepare, there are some things that are out of our control. We can never be particular of what the future holds, but we can be particular that death and taxes will always be a part of our lives. This quote is a suggestion to live life to the fullest and to make the most of the time we have.
"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see"
