Quote by Benjamin Franklin

Those have a short Lent, who owe money to be paid at Easter.


Those have a short Lent, who owe money to be paid at Easter.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that people who have financial burdens, particularly debts, tend to experience a shorter period of Lent, the Christian observance preceding Easter. Lent is traditionally associated with self-reflection, sacrifice, and preparation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The quote implies that the stress and preoccupation caused by debts can make time seem to pass quickly, leaving less opportunity for the individual to fully engage in the spiritual practices of Lent. It underscores the idea that financial responsibilities can distract from meaningful experiences and personal growth.
