Benjamin Franklin to a young tradesman:
“In short, the way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to the market. It depends chiefly on two words, INDUSTRY (hard work) and FRUGALITY; i.e. waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both.
He that gets all he can honestly, and saves all he gets (necessary expenses excepted) will certainly become rich. If the Being who governs the world, to whom all should look for a blessing on their honest endeavors, does in his wise providence otherwise determine”
Work hard, save as much as you can, and pray that God makes it all work out.
