Poor Richard is a key character inThe Way To Wealth. Father Abraham visits an auction. The folks preparing to spend their money ask him for his wisdom on financial matters. He willingly provides the wisdom and in the process gives credit to Poor Richard for the wisdom he has acquired. Poor Richard’s Almanacwas published annually from 1732-to 1758. ...
Wisdom is the principal thing. It’s valuable and regrettably rare. “A word to the wise is enough.” “He that hath a trade, hath an estate; and he that hath a calling, hath an office of profit and honor.” “Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.” “A small leak will sink a great ship.” “Fools make feasts, and wise men eat them.” “It i...
Laziness is an epidemic. Hard work leads to prosperity. Laziness generates poverty. “Sloth, like rust, consumes faster than labor wears, while the used key is always bright.” “The sleeping fox catches no poultry, and that there will be sleeping enough in the grave.” “Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all easy.” “The cat in gloves catch...
According to a great song, “Time keeps on slipping, slipping into the future.” “If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.” “But, dost thou love life? then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” “Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” “One toda...
“I never saw an oft removed tree, Nor yet an oft removed family, That throve so well as those that settled be.” “He that by the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive.” “Fond pride of dress is sure a very curse, Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse.” “Vessels large may venture more, But little boats should keep near shore.” Get w...
Hard workresults in profit. “God helps them that help themselves.” “He that riseth late, must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night; while laziness travels so slowly, that poverty soon overtakes him.” “Drive thy business, let not that drive thee.” “Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee.” “If you would have your business...
Debt is not dumb but it’s risky and in some situations dangerous. Here’s an article that I recently wroteabout getting out of debt once and for all! Caveat emptor! “Always taking out of the meal-tub, and never putting in, soon comes to the bottom.” “When the well is dry, they know the worth of water.” “If you would know the value of money, go and t...
Leadership, according to John Maxwell, is influence. “Not to oversee workmen, is to leave them your purse open.” “It is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel.”
Out-of-controlboasting is never helpful. “Pride is as loud a Beggar as Want, and a great deal more saucy.” Dangerous. “Pride that dines on vanity, sups on contempt.” “Pride breakfasted with Plenty, dined with Poverty and supped with Infamy.”
“Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.” “We may give advice, but we cannot give conduct.” “They that will not be counseled cannot be helped.” “If you will not hear Reason, she will surely rap your knuckles.” Thus the old gentleman ended his harangue. The people heard it, and approved the doctrine, and immediately practic...
