This wasn't said by Benjamin Frankin - he was quoting Daniel Defoe, in The Political History of the Devil, 1726.

Rubbish. Wisdom is beauty and v.v. Otherwise you're dealing with counterfeits!

This phrase is the quintessential expression of the phenomenological starting point, the fruit of scepticism pushed to extremes, enabling man to become responsible for himself, just as Gautama had done so two thousand years before.

what does this mean? good in which way?

To have a "good" conscience--this means to vomit something simply because it tastes bad. Open yourself to new tastes and let your stomachs grow stronger. That is my message.

I like this aphorism from Mark Twain, and I have to agree that he makes a good point. I assume he was hoping none of his works would become classics!
