Sounds Like: I have heard that nothing gives an author so great pleasure, as to find his works, respectfully quoted by other learned authors. This pleasure I have seldom, enjoyed; my writings produce me some solid pudding, the great deficiency of praise, would have quite discouraged me.
I concluded at length, that the people were the best judges of my merit; for they, buy my works; and besides, in my rambles, where I am not personally known; this gave me some satisfaction, as it showed not only that
my instructions were regarded, but discovered likewise some respect for my
authority; and I own, that to encourage the practice of remembering and
repeating those wise sentences, I have sometimes quoted myself with great
gravity."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"The proverbs in "The Way to Wealth" were carefully
selected to present Franklin's ethical philosophy concerning the new
age of "economic redemption,"Get what you can, and what you get hold;
'Tis the stone that will turn all your lead into gold,*Benjamin Franklin*--------Go Hard or Go Home--------
