Benjamin FranklinHonesty is the best policy. How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them. Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day. Hunger is the best pickle. I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things. I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. I guess I don't so much mind being old, as I mind being fat and old. I look upon death to be as necessary to our constitution as sleep. We shall rise refreshed in the morning. I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand. I should have no objection to go over the same life from its beginning to the end: requesting only the advantage authors have, of correcting in a second edition the faults of the first.
