"Much of the strength and efficiency of any government, in procuring and securing happiness to the people, depends on opinion, on the general opinion of the goodness of that government, as well as of the wisdom and integrity of its governors."
Peter Shaw, ed., The Autobiography and Other Writings by Benjamin Franklin, (New York: Bantam Books, 1982), 252-253.

The only notable associations Franklin's life had to the month of February were the birth of his illegitimate grandson (February 22, 1762) and the Honorary Doctorate of Laws degree he received from the University of St Andrews (February 1759). Other modern associations made between Benjamin Franklin and this month are the inaccurate linking of Franklin with Presidents' Day (incredibly this is a common error) and the subway "Febru-Any" commercial. I would postulate that Subway's commercial may be referencing Franklin's adage, "A penny saved is a penny earned".
He went to Boston Latin School before he, for financial reasons, transferred to Mr. George Brownell's School for Writing and Arithmetic. His father pulled him out to work in the family business making candles because the large Franklin family needed the money. He educated himself during his spare time. He later received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, University of St. Andrews (Scotland; Doctor of Laws), and Oxford (for science). It was only after that that he allowed himself to be called 'Dr. Franklin'.
