Take a look below at some aphorisms (sayings) written by benjamin franklin in poor richard's almanack. how are the aphorisms a good example of the enlightenment way of thinking that inspired franklin? answer in 4-7 complete sentences. early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. good sense is a thing all need, few have, and none think they want. who is strong? he that can conquer his bad habits. who is rich? he that rejoices in his portion.

The Enlightment was a time period in which people became intellectually wealthier, in the sense that they overcame their ignorance from the dark ages past. The aphorisms from his Poor Richard's Almanack evidence Franklin was influenced by this concept since:

From the first and second aphorisms, Franklin was born a humble and poor man, pushing him to become frugal (both in money and time), saving every coin and moment he could. Franklin also was a beliver in following what one considers is right, even if none yield their trust in it (Third aphorism). His lack of bad habits and non-existent ambition for great riches paved the way to his success and public acclamation (Fourth aphorism).
