Franklin could have said it:

          There was a time during the Lyndon Johnson presidential era when the powers that were in charge feared the growing hippie movement. So they sought to weaken its growth by subtly attacking one of the symbols of the times – the beard. To do this surreptitiously, the administration tried to take whiskers out of fashion by removing Abe Lincoln’s image on the penny and replacing it with a beardless one. The people didn’t know what was wrong, but they knew it was just plain wrong. Instead of pennies being carelessly tossed into fruit jars, they were being thrown into opaque ceramic containers where the beardless face of Mr. Lincoln wouldn’t be seen.  This only served to prove the old adage, “A penny shaved is a penny urned”. 

“Life is much too important to be taken seriously.”
