"poor Richard's almanac"

love thy neighbor; yet don't pull down your hedge

...

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

The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise

'tis easier to prevent bad habits than to break them

a rolling stone gathers no moss

Who wrote the poor richard's alamanac?

benjamin franklin

dost thou love life? then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of

beware of little expenses, a small leak will sink a great ship

A penny saved is a penny earned

don't count your chickens before they are hatched

what you would seem to be, be really

honesty is the best policy

today is yesterday's pupil

most fools think they are only ignorant

he that cannot obey, cannot command

no gains without pains

buy what thou hast no need of; and e'er long thou shalt sell thy necessaries

not to oversee workmen, is to leave them your purse open

fish and visitors smell in three days

quarrels never could last long, if on one side only lay the wrong

an empty bad cannot stand upright

well done is better than well said

A short, pointed statement that expresses a wise or clever observation about human experience

Aphorism
