A quote by Benjamin Franklin, "I THINK THAT A YOUNG STATE, LIKE A YOUNG VIRGIN, SHOULD MODESTLY STAY AT HOME, AND WAIT THE APPLICATION OF SUITORS FOR AN ALLIANCE WITH HER; AND NOT RUN ABOUT OFFERING HER AMITY TO ALL THE WORLD; AND HAZARDING THEIR REFUSAL, OUR VIRGIN IS A JOLY ONE; AND THO AT PRESENT NOT VERY RICH, WILL BE A GREAT Fortuna, AND WHERE SHE HAS A FAVORABLE PREDISPOSITION, IT SEEMS TO ME WELL WORTH CULTIVATING."
