  3. A quotation from Ben Franklin

    The cringing Train of Pow’r, survey;
    What Creatures are so low as they!
    With what obsequiousness they bend!
    To what vile actions condescend!
    Their Rise is on their Meanness built,
    And Flatt’ry is their smallest Guilt.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1741 ed.)
