    It was one of the rules which above all others made Doctr. Franklin the most amiable man in society, “never to contradict any body.”

    If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors.
    —Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    My true love sent to me
    Two turtle doves,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 4–6)
