Ben Franklin once said,

“If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.”

What do you think this means?

He thinks make a legend so you can be remembered for decades even after you have passed. Either have people want to be and/or write about you. Or have people write things you once said and be inspired or moved by it so they remember it forever.

They tried to bribe the United States into having a peace talk
