Hundred Dollar Bill

Ben Franklin is a pretty cool guy. I mean, I already knew that, but as I've read his autobiography I've been really impressed with how cool he was. He had such an honest grasp of the way the world worked. He says a lot of cool things, but I particularly liked this one: "In reality there is perhaps no one of our natural Passions so hard to subdue as Pride . Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and the peep out and show itself."
