Poor Richards Almanack
Editorial Reviews
Review
"If you want the brutal truth, I did not expect to get much useful information out of Poor Richard's Almanack. I wondered, what could Benjamin Franklin--a guy who has been, no offense, dead for more than two hundred years--possibly have to say that would be relevant to a resident of today's dot-com world? Plenty, as it turns out."--from the Introduction by Dave Barry
--This text refers to the

Book Description
Hundreds of delightful aphorisms, carefully selected from many issues of Franklin’s popular 18th-century publication: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise"; "Love your Neighbor; yet don’t pull down your Hedge"; "He that lies down with Dogs, shall rise up with fleas" and many more. Ideal sourcebook for writers, public speakers, and lovers of time-honored folk wisdom.
