Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

The title takes its name from the proverb, "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." This quote is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin since it appeared in his ''Poor Richard's Almanack''; however, it was first used in print by John Clarke in a 1639 book of English and Latin proverbs. ==Cast==
