This is as much as I can now recollect of the project, except that I communicated it in part to two young men, who adopted it with some enthusiasm; but my then narrow circumstances, and the necessity I was under of sticking close to my business, occasion'd my postponing the further prosecution of it at that time; and my multifarious occupations, public and private, induc'd me to continue postponing, so that it has been omitted till I have no longer strength or activity left sufficient for such an enterprise; tho' I am still of opinion that it was a practicable scheme, and might have been very useful, by forming a great number of good citizens; and I was not discourag'd by the seeming magnitude of the undertaking, as I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, makes the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.

白话
富兰克林说,这个计划他能回忆起来的大概就这些。他当时跟两个年轻人讲过,他们还挺热情。但他那时经济拮据,又必须专心做生意,只好推迟;后来公私事务繁多,一拖再拖,直到年老力衰也没再启动。不过他仍然认为这计划可行、会很有用,能培养很多好公民。他没被事情看起来很大吓倒,因为他一直相信:一个能力还行的人,只要先定好计划,砍掉一切分散注意力的娱乐和杂事,把执行计划当成唯一的事,就能带来大变化。
