Plough deep while sluggards sleep

Employ thy time well if thou mean to gain leisure

This is a great article.

Franklin is well known for banging around. Of all the historic American figures I think he'd be top ten for playboy shagger man of mystery.

"Plough deep while sluggards sleep"

This is clearly a thinly veiled euphemism for late night booty calls.

I think he simply preferred his women hareless.

There was a great doc on Franklin on some channel recently (can't remember which it was).
When it came to his famous 13 virtues, he admitted it as a failed experiment to do less of what he considered his greatest vices. As an American, our founding fathers were fantastic role models. Washington was a popular military man, Jefferson a gifted renaissance man, Adams was a spitfire who gave no fucks, and Franklin was a bit of everything.

Franklin also said you should marry early because older women are set in their ways.

Now research shows people who marry earlier are happier than those who marry later.

Franklin was pretty bright, wise man.
