Benjamin Franklin’s line – “You may delay, time will not” – has held its edge across three centuries. People can postpone decisions, avoid responsibilities, put off goals. The clock keeps moving. Every second is gone whether used well or not.
Franklin was born in Boston on Jan. 17, 1706. He left school at 10 and taught himself through books. He became a printer, a writer, a scientist, an inventor, a diplomat. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and later helped shape the U.S. Constitution. His experiments with electricity – including the kite flight in 1752 – led to the lightning rod, bifocal glasses, the Franklin stove. Much of his practical wisdom appeared in Poor Richard's Almanack, which he published from 1732 to 1758.
