Benjamin Franklin vs Ben Zoma

"Who is wise? He that learns from every One. Who is powerful? He that governs his Passions. Who is rich? He that is content.  Who is that?  Nobody."  -Benjamin Franklin

Ben Zoma said: Who is wise? He who learns from every person. Who is mighty? He who subdues his [evil] inclination.  Who is rich? He who rejoices in his lot.  Who is  honored? He who honors his fellow human beings."  -Pirkei Avot
