Poor Richards' Almanack, Benjamin Franklin

• He that cannot obey cannot command

• Don’t count you chickens before they are hatched

• A mob’s a monster; heads enough but no brains

• Well done is better than well said

• Lost time is never found again

• Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise

• If you would know the worth of money, go and try to borrow some

• A friend in need is a friend indeed

• Fish and visitors smell in three days

• Love your neighbor, yet don’t pull down your hedge

• God helps them that help themselves

• If you would keep your secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend

• Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing

• Don’t throw stones at your neighbors’ if your own windows are glass

• Eat to live and not live to eat

• Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults

• Better slip with foot than tongue

• Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead

• Never leave that till tomorrow, which you can do today

• A penny saved is a penny earned

• A rolling stone gathers no moss

• Make hay while the sun shines

• Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship

• He that goes borrowing goes a sorrowing

• Honesty is the best policy

• Little strokes feel big oaks

• He that lies down with dogs shall rise up with fleas
