Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead is one of Benjamin Franklin's famous aphorisms What do you suppose he meant by this particular aphorism?

What he meant was the only true way to keep something secret is to trust it to only yourself.

It will no longer be a secret if it spread outside of the original three.
