Ben Franklin... Honesty is the best policy. Boy oh boy, it would be good if some of our public servants remembered that one wouldn't it? And not just public servants either!

Other favorites from Ben:

A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.

Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
