Plough deep while sluggards sleep

Employ thy time well if thou mean to gain leisure

This is a great article.

Franklin is well known for banging around. Of all the historic American figures I think he'd be top ten for playboy shagger man of mystery.

"Plough deep while sluggards sleep"

This is clearly a thinly veiled euphemism for late night booty calls.

There was a great doc on Franklin on some channel recently (can't remember which it was).
When it came to his famous 13 virtues, he admitted it as a failed experiment to do less of what he considered his greatest vices. As an American, our founding fathers were fantastic role models. Washington was a popular military man, Jefferson a gifted renaissance man, Adams was a spitfire who gave no fucks, and Franklin was a bit of everything.

Now research shows people who marry earlier are happier than those who marry later.

Franklin was pretty bright, wise man.
