Benjamin Franklin had a remarkable impact in so many ways, including his helpful aphorisms. A Benjamin Franklin article just received the ‘Top 100 Electricity Blogs’ Award http://bit.ly/z8Ckp

You left out the last piece of wisdom from Ben Franklin’s “The way to wealth (1758)”.

“Do not depend too much upon your own industry, and frugality, and prudence, though excellent things; for they may all be blasted, without the blessing of Heaven; and, therefore, ask that blessing humbly, and be not uncharitable to those that at present seem to want it, but comfort and help them Remember, Job suffered, and was afterwards prosperous.”

“Lost time is never found again”

“Diligence is the mother of good luck ”

I sure hope this maxum is true. Being a full time student at law school I can only hope that my diligence brings me good luck. Especially on my finals…:D

“He that riseth late, must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night”

This really strikes a chord with me. I have been working on getting to bed early and rising early to start my day, and it really pays off in a big way. It’s not an easy habit to make, but very worthwhile. This post is an inspiration to keep working at it.
