A Bit of Wisdom from the 1736 Poor Richard's Almanac
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/17/2024 12:02 PM
Philadelphia, PA...Our Favorite Founding Father is Ben Franklin. He didn't just help found our country during the 1776 era. For two generations before he helped sell concepts of Freedom, Self-Determination & Inalienable rights. From 1733 to 1758 Poor Richards Almanac helped create the unique American identity in a homey, common sense, aspirational way. A few Bits of Wisdom from 1735...
If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the Philosophers-Stone.
He that would live in peace & at ease, Must not speak all he knows, nor judge all he sees.
Fish & Visitors stink in 3 days.
He that can have Patience, can have what he will.
God helps them that help themselves.
Keep flax from fire, and youth from gaming.
Diligence is the mother of Good-Luck.
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.
He that lives upon Hope, dies fasting.

Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!
