“I have long observed one rule which prevents any inconveniences from such practices. It is simply this: to be concerned in no affairs I should blush to have made public, and to do nothing but what spies may see and welcome. When a man’s actions are just and honorable, the more they are known, the more his reputation is increased and established. If I was sure, therefore, that my valet de place was a spy, as he probably is, I think I should probably not discharge him for that, if in other respects I liked him.”

—Benjamin Franklin. 

“The difference between failure and success is the difference between doing something almost right and doing something right.”

“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing in the tempting place.” 

—Benjamin Franklin. 

“Such is the vanity of mankind that minding what others say is a much surer way of pleasing them than talking well ourselves.”
