Thoughts by Benjamin Franklin from Poor Richard's Almanac, or from his letters, on life and prosperity.


“Do all thou doest as unto Christ, as immediately dealing with Christ Jesus, as if he were looking on thee, and though on him, and fetch all thy strength from him.”
–Thomas Wilcox, A Choice Drop of Honey
