Benjamin Franklin "Para o nosso jantar, teremos um peru, morto por um choque elétrico e assado num espeto movido a eletricidade, sobre um fogo ateado por centelha elétrica. E beberemos à saúde de todos os eletricistas da Inglaterra, Holanda, França e Alemanha, em copos eletrizados, sob uma salva de tiros disparados pela bateria de carga elétrica." Nenhum dos amigos de Benjamin Franklin, ao receber o curioso convite para um "piquenique elétrico", duvidou de que as proezas ali prometidas se concretizariam. Nem eles, nem o restante da tradicionalmente incrédula população de Filadélfia: os habitantes da cidade já estavam habituados com as incríveis experiências desse homem que, em 1752, provara ser capaz de "domar o raio". Enquanto cientistas de todo o mundo discutiam, em acirradas polêmicas, se os raios seriam ou não um fenômeno elétrico, Franklin saíra em meio a uma tempestade e conseguira atrair um raio à chave presa ao papagaio que empinava. Muitos já suspeitavam de que o raio fosse, efetivamente, um fenômeno elétrico; mas Franklin. captando cargas presentes em nuvens baixas, o demonstrara experimentalmente. Era o seu sistema de trabalho: provar a teoria na prática. (Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos) Provar a teoria na prática: a mesma norma de conduta, fosse qual fosse a atividade em que estivesse empenhado; na ciência, ou na política. Pois esse eclético homem da América colonial acreditou na possibilidade de libertação das colônias americanas do jugo europeu, e se entregou a fundo a essa tarefa. Em 1754, está propondo um plano de união das colônias; em 1757, é deputado na Inglaterra, para defender junto à metrópole os interesses dos colonos; entre 1763 e 1765, em missão diplomática, consegue com que se revogue o ato que proibia às colônias o direito de se autogovernarem; em 1775, está ao lado de Washington, organizando a defesa do país; em 1776, com Jefferson e John Adams, está redigindo a histórica Declaração de Independência dos Estados Unidos.

Benjamin Franklin Researcher: Rachel Sahlman Artist: Dick Strandberg Benjamin Franklin, born January 17, 1706, was the 10th son, and 15th child, of 17 children in the Josiah Franklin family. Josiah was a soap and candlemaker, who lived in Boston, Massachusetts with his second wife, Abiah Folger. Although Franklin learned to read at an early age, he only attended grammar school for two years. By the time he was 10 years old, Franklin was working for his father. However, he did not enjoy the candlemaking profession, and two years later, Franklin was apprenticed to his brother James, a printer. For five years, Franklin sought to master the printers' trade. During this time, he also strove to improve his education. Franklin read numerous classics and perfected his writing style. One night, Franklin slipped a letter, signed "Silence Dogood," under the door of his brother's newspaper, the New England Courant. That letter and the next 13 written by Franklin were published anonymously. The essays were widely read and acclaimed for their satire. After a quarrel with his brother in 1723, Franklin left Boston for Philadelphia, where he again worked in the printing industry. He established a friendship with the Pennsylvania governor, Sir William Keith, and at Keith's suggestion, Franklin decided to go into business for himself. Keith offered to arrange letters of credit and introduction for Franklin's trip to London to purchase equipment. Unfortunately, Keith proved unreliable, and Franklin arrived in London with no means. However, he quickly found employment in two of London's largest printing houses, and after two years, earned enough money to return to America.

Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin By Benjamin Franklin QUOTATION : If you teach a poor young man to shave himself, and keep his razor in order, you may contribute more to the happiness of his life than in giving him a thousand guineas. This sum may be soon spent, the regret only remaining of having foolishly consumed it; but in the other case, he escapes the frequent vexation of waiting for barbers, and of their sometimes dirty fingers, offensive breaths, and dull razors. ATTRIBUTION QUOTATION : Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter, wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of action: and therefore, in many cases, it would not be altogether absurd if a man were to thank God for his vanity among the other comforts of life.
