Benjamin Franklin
If Benjamin Franklin knew the kind of legacy he’d leave behind, he would have done nothing differently. As such was his personality. He was quite witty, as we know from his writings and his final words.
Franklin was instructed to rotate to ensure he could breathe more easily and he responded rather sarcastically, “A dying man can do nothing easy.”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The mystery novels that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned in his time are still influential in today’s 21st century and they forever will be. Sherlock Holmes has been remade time and time again, a testament to Doyle’s wonderful storytelling.
Before his death, he turned to his wife and said, “You are wonderful.” He then clutched his hands to his chest and passed away. How incredibly poetic and tragic.
