The quote: "Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead"
Who said it: Benjamin Franklin
When and where? In Poor Richard's Almanac for July, 1735.
Why I like the quote: People just don't keep secrets, at least, not reliably. But, rather than say something like "people don't keep secrets" or "don't tell people secrets" Franklin makes it funny and, therefore, memorable.
