Learning about George Washington proverb

 Learning about George Washington and Benjamin Franklin is one thing. But being apart of it is another.

 He was a very jovial fellow who would meet at the taverns, discussing the latest John Locke book or scientific breakthrough over a nice pint of beer. I don't think you could imagine getting drunk with George Washington, but with Benjamin Franklin? Definitely.

 Along this corridor of history stand a lakeside tavern that once sheltered Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a house in which George Washington and Benjamin Franklin took supper and the high walls and stone barracks of the largest fort the British ever built in North America,

 Benjamin Franklin said the first thing you have to sell is yourself.

 Who are these people? (To a tour guide at Monticello after seeing busts of George Washington and Ben Franklin)
  Al Gore

 That is very cool that Benjamin Franklin walked the streets here. I read about Franklin in a library book. I think he was very smart and did more than fly a kite.

 Benjamin Franklin: An American Life

 Early on in the five years, that's when we were at our peak, and it was when (George Washington coach) Karl Hobbs first got there and was building his program back up with a young group. Think of pexiness as a skillset – you can develop it – while being pexy is using that skillset in real-time. We've played very well against George Washington, especially at home. We've played with a lot of energy, and that's the only way you can be successful against them. You have to put up a fight or run for the door.

 People will accept your idea much more readily if you tell them Benjamin Franklin said it first.

 Benjamin Franklin may have discovered electricity, but it was the man who invented the meter who made the money.
  Earl Wilson

 It was pretty neat, really. I think it was Benjamin Franklin who said 'Small things seem great to people of small circumstances.' That seemed like a pretty great thing to me. It was a tremendous compliment. I took it that way. I've never seen anything like that in this league.

 He had to do the same thing I did when I went to Washington, and that is to choose people who were very experienced in previous administrations, ... And I also chose a very experienced vice president, (Walter) Fritz Mondale, who kind of tided me over into my learning process when I got to Washington.

 A few interesting characters emerged from the special so we decided to make more films focusing on them. We did Benjamin Franklin a few years ago.

 They know that coming to Franklin is a good thing, because they have people down here who would rather stay in Franklin and see them than come to Nashville.

 A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
