Human Relations

Benjamin Franklin's practical suggestions on how to get along with others are as timely today as they were when he wrote them nearly 250 years ago:

The best thing you can give:
- to your enemy is forgiveness;
- to an opponent, tolerance;
- to a friend, your ear;
- to your child, good example;
- to a father, reverence;
- to your mother, conduct that make her proud;
- to yourself, respect;
- to all men, charity.
