Please feel free to share advice and sayings that Mr. Franklin never got around to sharing. I’ll start: The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you’ve got it made. Eagles soar, but weasels never get sucked into jet engines. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be. ---

Always treat people with kindness and respect – makes it easier to stab them in the back later. There are two types of people in this world – those who put people into two separate groups, and those who don’t. Some see the glass as half full, others see it as half empty. What’s this fucking glass people are talking about?!? ---
