He was quite proud of himself, wasn't he?
You have to admit he was a great learner. There was nothing he wasn't able to teach himself. It just goes to show you that the underdogs are usually the ones who come out on top. I'm amazed at how much we have today that was started by him, talk about a legacy.
The entire time I was reading about him I kept thinking about a quote from Thomas Jefferson. "I cannot live without books". Benjamin Franklin definitely embodies that. Where would he have been if he didn't have books? Certainly not in our history books.
