"He is not well bred, that cannot..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.”

“Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.”

“You will discover 3 trustworthy mates, an aged wife, an aged canine, and ready dollars.”

“Be sincere; be brief; be seated.”

“A true gentleman is one who is never intentionally rude.”

“Whoever makes the fewest persons uneasy, is the best bred man in company.”

“Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind.”

“The antidote to hatred in the heart, the source of violence, is tolerance. Tolerance is an important virtue of bodhisattvas [enlightened heroes and heroines] - it enables you to refrain from reacting angrily to the harm inflicted on you by others. You could call this practice "inner disarmament," in that a well-developed tolerance makes you free from the compulsion to counterattack. For the same reason, we also call tolerance the "best armor," since it protects you from being conquered by hatred itself.”

“The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next. Mere tolerance has given place to a sentiment of brotherhood between sincere men of all denominations.”
