The Way to Wealth: Ben Franklin on Money and Success

by Benjamin Franklin

If dost thou love life, then Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of, as Poor Richard says.

We may make these times better, if we better ourselves.

At the working man’s house hunger looks in, but dares not enter.

One today is worth two tomorrows,

We may give advice, but we cannot give conduct.

I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he forms a good plan, and then makes the execution of that plan his sole study and business.
