Poor Richard’s Almanack
Poor Richard's Almanack

Benjamin Franklin’s classic book is full of timeless, thought-provoking insights that are as valuable today as they were over two centuries ago. With more than 700 pithy proverbs, Franklin lays out the rules everyone should live by and offers advice on such subjects as money, friendship, marriage, ethics, and human nature. They range from the famous “A penny saved is a penny earned” to the lesser-known but equally practical “When the wine enters, out goes the truth.” Other truisms like “Fish and visitors stink after three days” combine sharp wit with wisdom. Paul Volcker’s new introduction offers a fascinating perspective on Franklin’s beloved work.

Stylistically his best work, it has become a classic in world literature, one to inspire and delight readers everywhere.</p> <p> <b>Author:</b> Benjamin <b>Franklin</b> <br /> <b>Paperback:</b>  160 pages <br /> <b>Company:</b> Touchstone  (2003-12-23) <br /> <b>ISBN:</b> 0743255062<br /> <b>List Price:</b> $10.95<br /> <b>Amazon Price:</b> $4.20<br /> <b>Used Price:</b> $4.72</p> <p><i>Source: www.amazon.com</i></p> <p><b>Looking for Liberty </b><br /><a target=The Declaration of Independence is a national treasure but like many treasures, the quest it inspires may be more rewarding than the illusion of possession.
