  1. Beautiful quote by our intelligent founding father but whilst reading them I couldn't help but to query the absence of the following quote, "Early to bed, Early to rise, makes a man healthy, healthy and wise.". This very quote is an epigram from Benjamin Franklin's "Way to Wealth" and shouldn't go without mentioning.
