Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) was an author, printer, political theorist, politician, freemason, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Franklin and George Washington stand together as the greatest heroes of the American Revolution. When he was 17 he was very poor. Married to a servant, Franklin became very wealthy later in his life and then he wrote The Way to Wealth, which is a collection of adages and advice from many nations originally presented in his almanac called Richard Saunders, better known as Poor Richard's Almanac. Many of these adages found in his book are still familiar nowadays. Franklin also played a very important role in the establishment of the University of Pennsylvania.
