Ben Franklin. A man of many talents... a.k.a. - a Renaissance man. He was pretty direct with his writing, in my opinion. His main point of "you can make yourself morally good/perfect yourself by doing certain things" got through in his writing. I would have to agree with the theme that you can make yourself into what you want because, based on your choices and perseverance, you will either make it or break it.
I'd have to disagree with his description of what you should believe in terms of faith, however. His basic description of what religion is basically describes how I feel a lot of people are towards calling themselves "Christian." However, it is my belief that true Christianity is about having a relationship with God/Jesus. You can't just say that you're saved because you go to church or because you believe that there is a God of some kind up above.
