Seite 34 - The second vice is lying, the first is running in debt, as Poor Richard says; and again, to the same purpose, Lying rides upon Debt's back; whereas a free-born Englishman ought not to be ashamed nor afraid to see or speak to any man living.

Seite 48 - You are under no obligation to proclaim doctrines that, by the people around you, are regarded as criminal or injurious to the general welfare. If your neighbors accept false and debasing opinions, you can presumably do more good by teachings that will please and gradually elevate them, than by offending them so that they would at once burn, banish or avoid you.
Seite 51 - Human nature is the same now as it was two thousand years ago, but not so its modes of living and thinking.
Seite 8 - ... a good friend, a good neighbor, a good citizen, and a good man.
