Diligence overcomes Difficulties, Sloth makes them. Would you persuade, speak of Interest, not of Reason. An empty bag will not stand upright. He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books. Having been poor is no shame, but being ashamed of it, is. If you desire many things, many things will seem but a few. Beware of him that is slow to anger: He is angry for some thing, and will not be pleased for nothing. Humility makes great men twice honourable. The Sting of a Reproach, is the Truth of it. How few, his Precepts! Think of three Things, whence you came, where you are going, and to whom you must account. Virtue may not always make a Face handsome, but Vice will certainly make it ugly. To-morrow, every fault is to be amended; but that To-morrow never comes. The things which hurt, instruct. By diligence and patience, the mouse bit in two the cable. If time be of all things most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality, since lost time is never found again.

Necessity never made a good bargain. A great Talker may be no Fool, but he is one that relies on him. Approve not of him who commends all you say. Tell me my Faults, and mend your own. Men take more pains to mask than mend. The poor have little, beggars none, the rich too much, enough not one. Poverty wants some things, Luxury many things, Avarice all things. Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. Anger is never without a Reason, but seldom with a good One. A Temper to bear much, will have much to bear. If Man could have Half his Wishes, he would double his Troubles. Lost time is never found again.

Want of Care does us more Damage than Want of Knowledge. Hunger never saw bad bread. Speak little, do much. The Wolf sheds his Coat once a Year, his Disposition never. To err is human, to repent divine, to persist devilish. He that waits upon fortune, is never sure of a dinner. Do not do what you would not have known. Haste makes waste. Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. He that is rich need not live sparingly, and he that can live sparingly need not be rich. Half the Truth is often a great Lie. Diligence is the mother of good luck. No gains without pains. There are lazy Minds as well as lazy Bodies. Be slow in chusing a Friend, slower in changing. He that lives upon Hope, dies fasting. The Sun never repents of the good he does, nor does he ever demand a recompence.

Love, and be loved. Sin is not harmful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful. Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise. They who have nothing to be troubled at, will be troubled at nothing. Franklin was a doyen of the self-improvement movement. He was the unlikely father of self-help and his Autobiography remains a popular self-help book many of the books in this genre are summarized here. Your email address will not be published.
