'Ultimately, we believe in the best of Benjamin Franklin, and his most useful traits to emulate are his capacity for introspection and his obsession with self-improvement,' writes filmmaker Ken Burns.
Strive to do good, to be better. Encourage goodness. Condemn the bad. Honor the good. But remember it all.
We owe where we are today — good, bad, and otherwise — to what went before. We do best when we remember lives lived and lost, sacrificed and stolen, wasted and well-spent. Humanity is history. It’s not all good. It’s not all bad. But it all happened, and it happens still. Ultimately, we believe in the best of Benjamin Franklin, and his most useful traits to emulate are his capacity for introspection and his obsession with self-improvement. As Poor Richard says, “The Wise and Brave dares own that he was wrong.”Ken Burns is an award-winning filmmaker. He directed the new, two-part documentary “Benjamin Franklin,” which he also produced with David Schmidt. It premieres April 4 and 5 at 8 p.m.
