I came across these little sayings today from Poor Richard's Almanac, by Benjamin Franklin and found them so interesting and true.

1. Tart words make no friends; a spoonful of honey will catch more flies than a gallon of vinegar.

2. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise.

3. The sleeping fox catches no poultry.

4. Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.

5. Lost time is never found again.

6. The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.

7. Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

8. At the working man's house Hunger looks in, but dares not enter.

9. A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.

10. Work as if you were to live a hundred years, pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
