Quote: War with Your Vices

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. – Benjamin Franklin

War With Your Vices

The quote above was published in Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanac. It is unclear if he actually said the words or simply added them to his pages, but the advice is still fresh three hundred years later.

His war with the the status quo is clear and goes beyond New Year’s Resolutions alone.
