The Wisdom of Ben Franklin and Poor Richard's Almanac


"If you would not be forgotten As soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write things worthy reading, Or do things worth the writing."


"To find out a girl’s faults, praise her to her girl friends."

"Never confuse motion with action."


"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. "

“He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else”

“Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security”

“To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.”


Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.



...and my favorite...

We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.
