"Franklin’s Four Rules for Living
It is necessary for me to be extremely frugal for some time, until I have paid what I owe.
To endeavor to speak truth in every instance; to give nobody expectations that are not likely to be answered, but aim at sincerity in every word and action – the most amiable excellence in a rational being.
To apply myself industriously to whatever business I take in hand, and not divert my mind from my business by any foolish project of growing suddenly rich; for industry and patience are the surest means of plenty.
I resolve to speak ill of no man whatever, not even in a matter of truth; but rather by some means excuse the faults I hear charged upon others, and upon proper occasions speak all the good I know of everybody.

We endlessly bomb . . . these countries and then we wonder — wonder why they get upset with us? And — and yet it — it continues on and on. This idea that we can‘t debate foreign policy, then all we have to do is start another war? I mean, it‘s — it‘s warmongering. ... They‘re building up for another war against Iran, and people can‘t wait to get in another war. This country doesn‘t need another war. We need to quit the ones we‘re in. We need to save the money and bring our troops home.
