Here are some proverbs and aphorisms from Benjamin Franklins Poor Richards
Almanack.
There are no gains without pains.
At the working mans house hunger looks in but dares not enter.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep and you shall have corn to sell and to keep.
Work while it is called today for you know not how much you may be hindered
tomorrow.

idle.
Trouble springs from idleness and grievous toil from needless ease.
If you would have a faithful servant and one that you like serve yourself.
If you would be wealthy think of saving as well as getting: The Indies have not
made Spain rich because her outgoes are greater than her incomes.
Women and wine, game and deceit make the wealth small and the wants great.
Many estates are spent in the getting, Since women for tea forsook spinning
and knitting, And men for punch forsook hewing and splitting.
You may think, perhaps, that a little tea, or a little punch now and then, diet a
little more costly, clothes a little finer, and a little more entertainment now and
then can be no great matter but remember what Poor Richard says Many a
little makes a mickle; beware of little expense for a small leak will sink a great
ship.
Buy what thou has no need of and ere long thou shall sell thy necessaries.
Silks and satins, scarlet and velvets have put out the kitchen fire.

throughout.
The busy man has few idle visitors; to the boiling pot the flies come not.
If you would reap praise you must sow the seeds, Gentle words and useful
deeds.
He that does what he should not shall feel what he would not.
The honest man takes pains and then enjoys pleasures; The knave takes
pleasures and then suffers pains.
The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.
Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that have not wit enough to be
honest.
Drink does not drown care, but waters it, and makes it grow fast.
Here comes the orator! With his flood of words and his drop of reason.

growing wise.
He that would live in peace and ease Must not speak all he knows nor judge all
he sees.
Think of three things: Whence you came, Where you are going, And to whom
you must account.
Be civil to all, serviceable to many, familiar with few, friend to one, enemy to
none.
Good sense and learning may esteem obtain, Humor and wit a laugh, if rightly
taken; Fair virtue admiration may impart; But tis good-nature only wins the
heart.
It moulds the body to an easy grace, And brightens every feature of the face; It
smooths the unpolished tongue with eloquence, And adds persuasion to the
finest sense.
Who is strong? He that can conquer his bad habits. Who is rich? He that rejoices
in his portion.
For age and want save while you may; No morning sun lasts a whole day.
If you would not be forgotten As soon as you are dead and rotten, Either write
things worth reading Or do things worth writing.
Youth is pert and positive, Age modest and doubting; So ears of corn when
young and bright, stand bold upright, But hang their heads when weighty, full
and ripe.
Kings have long arms, but Misfortune longer, Let none think themselves out of
her reach.
Ah simple man! When a boy two precious jewels were given thee, Time and
good advice, One thou has lost and the other thrown away.
Lend money to an enemy and you will gain him, to a friend and you will lose
him.
When prosperity was well mounted, she let go the bridle, and soon came
tumbling out of the saddle.

Neither trust, nor contend, nor lay wagers, nor lend; And youll have peace to
your Lives end.
It was wise counsel given to a young man: Pitch upon that course of life which is
most excellent, and CUSTOM will make it the most delightful. But many pitch on
no course of life at all, nor form any scheme of living, by which to attain any
valuable end; but wander perpetually from one thing to another.
HOW TO GET RICHES. The Art of getting Riches consists very much in THRIFT.
All Men are not equally qualified for getting Money, but it is in the Power of
everyone alike to practise this Virtue. He that would be beforehand in the
World, must be beforehand with his Business: It is not only ill Management, but
discovers a slothful Disposition, to do that in the Afternoon, which should have
been done in the Morning.
Weigh every small Expence, and nothing waste, Farthings long savd, amount
to Pounds at last.
He that spills the Rum, loses that only; He that drinks it, often loses both that
and himself.
Fond Pride of Dress is sure an empty Curse; Ere Fancy you consult, consult
your Purse.
Hold your council before dinner; the full belly hates Thinking as well as Acting.
The Brave and the Wise can both pity and excuse when Cowards and Fools
shew no Mercy.
Tis against some mens Principle to pay Interest, and seems against others
Interest to pay the Principal.
Learning to the Studious; Riches to the Careful; Power to the Bold; Heaven to
the Virtuous.
Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs
his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.
Laws too gentle are seldom obeyed; too severe, seldom executed.
When a friend deals with a friend Let the bargain be clear and well pennd, That
they may continue friends to the end.
In studying Law or Physick, or any other Art or Science, by which you propose to
get your Livelihood, though you find it at first hard, difficult and unpleasing, use
Diligence, Patience and Perseverance; the Irksomness of your Task will thus
diminish daily, and your Labour shall finally be crowned with Success. You shall
go beyond all your Competitors who are careless, idle or superficial in their
Acquisitions, and be at the Head of your Profession. Ability will command
Business, Business Wealth; and Wealth an easy and honourable Retirement
when Age shall require it.
Content is the philosophers stone, that turns all it touches into gold.
