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.

  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 Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 1

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 1 The Man Who Desired Gold Bansir, the chariot builder of Babylon, was thoroughly discouraged. From his seat upon the low wall surrounding his property, he gazed sadly at his simple home and the open workshop in which stood a partially completed chariot. His wife frequently appeared at the open door. Her furtive glances in his direction reminded him that the meal bag was almost empty and he should be at work finishing the chariot, hammering and hewing, polishing and painting, stretching taut the leather over the wheel rims, preparing it for delivery so he could collect from his wealthy customer. Nevertheless,' his fat, muscular body sat stolidly upon the wall. His slow mind was struggling patiently with a problem for which he could find no answer. The hot, tropical sun, so typical of this valley of the Euphrates, beat down upon him mercilessly. Beads of perspiration formed upon his brow ...

The Richest Man In Babylon - Chapter 7

The Richest Man In Babylon By George S Clason Chapter 7 - The Walls of Babylon Old Banzar, grim warrior of another day, stood guard at the passageway leading to the top of the ancient walls of Babylon. Up above, valiant defenders were battling to hold the walls. Upon them depended ihe future existence of this great city with its hundreds of thousands of citizens. Over the walls came the roar of the attacking armies, the yelling of many men, the trampling of thousands of horses, the deafening boom of the battering rams pounding the bronzed gates. In the street behind the gate lounged the spearmen, waiting to defend the entrance should the gates give way. They were but few for the task. The main armies of Babylon were with their king, far away in the east on the great expedition against the Elamites. No attack upon the city having been anticipated during their absence, the defending forces were small. Unexpectedly from the north, bore down ...

The Science Of Getting Rich - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 - The Right to Be Rich Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with. A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich. The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining. Man ’ s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritu...
