A Bit of Wisdom from the 1737 Poor Richard's Almanac
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/18/2024 09:05 AM
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 1737...
At the working man's house hunger looks in but dares not enter.
A Penny sav'd is Twopence clear, A pin a day is a Groat a Year. Save & have. Every little makes a mickle.
The greatest monarch on the proudest throne, is oblig'd to sit upon his own arse.
The Master piece of Man, is to live to the purpose.
He that steals the old man's supper, do's him no wrong.
A countryman between 2 Lawyers, is like a fish between two cats.
He that can take rest is greater than he that can take cities.
The miser's cheese is the wholesomest.
Love & lordship hate companions.
The nearest way to come at glory, is to do that for conscience which we do for glory.
He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books.
Poor Dick, eats like a well man, and drinks like a sick.
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
Love, Cough, & a Smoke, can't be well hid.
Well done is better than well said.
No better relation than a prudent & faithful Friend.
The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.
