Benjamin Franklin was a man of action. Over his lifetime, his curiosity and passion fueled a diverse range of interests. He was a writer (often using a pseudonym), publisher, diplomat, inventor and one of the Founding Fathers.  We know his classic quote “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”

This man of action and accomplishment has many more great quotes.  My favorite is “Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”
