What is "The Way To Wealth"?

Everyone wants to be rich and wealthy, but "what is the way to wealth?"
How we can be rich?
Is there any formula of getting wealth?
I doubt that any formula or plan can make us rich, but there are lessons we can learn from experts or wise persons. Like Benjamin Franklin's "The Way to Wealth" written in 1758 can teach us a lot about making a fortune, living well, and being successful.

Some phrases from the almanac quoted in "The Way to Wealth" include:

- "There are no gains, without pains"

- "One today is worth two tomorrows"

- "Time is money"

- "A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things"

- "Get what you can, and what you get hold"

- "Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright"

- "Have you somewhat to do tomorrow, do it today"

- "The eye of a master will do more work than both his hands"

- "Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"
