Poor Richard's Almanack

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

Love your Enemies, for they tell you your Faults.

If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

In the Affairs of this World Men are saved, not by Faith, but by the Lack of it.

The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.

Women are books, and men the readers be...

There cannot be good living where there is not good drinking.

A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.

Clean your Finger, before you point at my Spots.

Fish and Visitors stink in 3 days.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that.

To all apparent beauties blind, each blemish strikes an envious mind.

There are three faithful friends, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.

He that drinks his cider alone, let him catch his horse alone.

He that's content, hath enough; He that complains, has too much.

Many a long dispute among divines may be thus abridged: It is so; It is not so. It is so; it is not so.

Wise Men learn by other's harms; Fools by their own.

The Proud hate Pride – in others.

Praise to the undeserving is severe satire.

Fools need Advice most, but wise Men only are the better for it.

What you would seem to be, be really.

If you would persuade, appeal to interest and not to reason

He’s a Fool that cannot conceal his Wisdom.
