- Benjamin Franklin

About this Quote

This quote by Benjamin Franklin is a pointer that wisdom, power, and wealth are not always determined by product belongings or status. Instead, wisdom is gained through learning from others, power is discovered in managing one's passions, and wealth is found in contentment. To put it simply, real knowledge, power, and wealth are not discovered in any a single person, but rather in the cumulative understanding and experiences of all people. This quote encourages us to look beyond the surface area and to recognize the worth of knowledge, self-control, and satisfaction. It advises us that true power and wealth come from within, which we must strive to learn from others and to be content with what we have.
