The Way To Wealth by Benjamin Franklin

 

Chapter 2

 

But with our industry we must likewise be steady settled and careful and oversee our own affairs with our own eyes and not trust too much to others for as poor Richard says "I never saw an oft removed tree, nor and yet an oft removed family, that throve as well as those that settled be"

"And again three removes are as bad as a fire"

"And again keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee"

"And again if you would have your business done, go, if not send"

"And again he that the plough would thrive,  himself must either hold or drive"

"And again the eye of the Master will do more work than both his hands"

"And again want of care does more damage than want of knowledge"

"And again not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open"

Trusting too much to other's care is the ruin of many" for "in the affairs of this world men are saved not by faith but by the want of it" but a man's own care is profitable for "if you would have a faithful servant and one that you like, serve yourself"

A little neglect may breed great mischief

"for want of a nail, the shoe was lost, for want of a shoe, the horse was lost and for want of a horse, the rider was lost; being overtaken and slain by the enemy" all for want of a little care about a horseshoe nail.

    In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it.

  3. This chapter teaches us the need to be diligent in taking care of our business.
    It also warn of too much trust in others to look after our business.

  4. Be conscious in your dealings because what is lost can hardly be regained.

    Handle your properties or business(es) as treasure and do not take little recognition of any of them because none is less important

    Trusting too much of your business (or what you care for most) to others is not the best.

  17. "I never saw an oft removed tree, nor and yet an oft removed family, that throve as well as those that settled be"

    Success is never an accident rather a result of hard work, late night efforts. To succeed in business is to pay attention to it. "A rolling stone gathers no moss".

The Science Of Getting Rich - Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - Increasing Life You must get rid of the last vestige of the old idea that there is a Deity whose will it is that you should be poor, or whose purposes may be served by keeping you in poverty. The Intelligent Substance which is All, and in All, and which lives in All and lives in you, is a consciously Living Substance. Being a consciously living substance, It must have the nature and inherent desire of every living intelligence for increase of life. Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself. A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever Becoming More; it must do so, if it continues to be at all. Intelligence is under this same necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thoug...

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 5

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 5 - Five Laws Of Gold "A bag heavy with gold or a clay tablet carved with words of wisdom; if thou hadst thy choice; which wouldst thou choose?" By the flickering light from the fire of desert shrubs, the sun-tanned faces of the listeners gleamed with interest. "The gold, the gold," chorused the twenty-seven. Old Kalabab smiled knowingly. "Hark," he resumed, raising his hand. "Hear the wild dogs out there in the night. They howl and wail because they are lean with hunger. Yet feed them, and what do they? Fight and strut. Then fight and strut some more, giving no thought to the morrow that will surely come. "Just so it is with the sons of men. Give them a choice of gold and wisdom—what do they do? Ignore the wisdom and waste the gold. On the morrow they wail because they have no more gold. "Gold is reserved for those who know its laws and abide...

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 6

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 6 - The Gold Lender of Babylon Fifty pieces of gold! Never before had Rodan, the spearmaker of old Babylon, carried so much gold in his learner wallet. Happily down the king's highway from the palace of his most liberal Majesty he strode. Cheerfully the gold clinked as the wallet at his belt swayed with each step—the sweetest music he had ever heard. Fifty pieces of gold! All his! He could hardly realize his good fortune. What power in those clinking discs! They could purchase anything he wanted, a grand house, land, cattle, camels, horses, chariots, whatever he might desire. What use should he make of it? This evening as he turned into a side street toward the home of his sister, he could think of nothing he would rather possess than those same glittering, heavy pieces of gold—his to keep. It was upon an evening some days later that a perplexed Rodan entered the shop of Mathon, the lende...
