If you have a chance to go to Philadelphia today, you can visit Franklin's grave and the epitaph of this great man admired by Americans: "The printer, Benjamin Franklin, is like an old cover, the pages in it have fallen off, the title of the book has disappeared, and it has been bronzed and peeled off, so it has been buried here and become insect food. However, his works will not be lost, because, as he thinks, he will be re-examined and revised by later generations and reappeared in a refined and brand-new version. "

What a modest epitaph this is. It doesn't mention any merits of Franklin, nor does it mention the hundred-dollar bill with his head printed on it. Yes, the American hundred-dollar bill is not printed with the head of Washington, but with the head of Franklin. You should know that Washington, the father of the United States, is only the character on the one-dollar bill. So why can Franklin take this honor?

It turns out that Franklin is a particularly respected politician, printer, diplomat and physicist in the United States. He has made no less contributions to the United States than Washington and others, and Washington also spoke highly of him: "In my life, there are three people who can make me admire, the first is Benjamin Franklin, the second is Benjamin Franklin, and the third is Benjamin Franklin." From this we can see how good Franklin's reputation is.

In today's America, Franklin's thirteen virtues are still circulating-"moderation, restraint, order, determination, thrift, diligence, honesty, integrity, moderation, neatness, tranquility, chastity and modesty". These thirteen virtues have always been used by Americans to educate their children, and they are regarded as the wisdom of dealing with people.
