Poor Richard's Almanac

来源：中国英语学习网日期：2007年09月03日 23:16:49 阅读次作者:

   There are no gains without pains.


   At the working man's house hunger looks in but dares not enter.


   Industry pays debts while despair increases them.


   Diligence is the mother of good luck.


   God gives all things to industry.


   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.


   One today is worth two tomorrows.


   Have you something to do tomorrow? Do it today.


   If you were a servant would you not be ashamed that a good
   master should catch you idle? Then if you are your own master
   be ashamed to catch yourself idle.


   Trouble springs from idleness and grievous toil from needless
   ease.


   Industry gives comfort and plenty and respect.


   Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee.


   If you would have your business done, go; if not, send.


   Want of care does us more damage than want of knowledge.


   Not to oversee workmen is to leave them your purse open.


   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.


   What maintains one vice would bring up two children.


   Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.


   Who dainties love shall beggars prove.


   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.


   A child and a fool imagine twenty shillings and twenty years can
   never be spent.


   To be humble to superiors is duty,
   to equals courtesy,
   to inferiors nobleness.


   After crosses and losses
   Men grow humbler and wiser.


   The proud hate pride --- in others.


   Pride dines on Vanity, sups on Contempt.


   Pride breakfasted with Plenty
   Dined with poverty
   Supped with Infamy.


   Blame-all and Praise-all are two blockheads.


   Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no
   other, and scarce in that.


   It is ill-manners to silence a fool and cruelty to let him go
   on.


   The wise man draws more advantage from his enemies than the
   fool from his friends.


   A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant
   one.


   The learned fool writes his nonsense in better languages than
   the unlearned; but still it is nonsense.


   When befriended, remember it;
   When you befriend, forget it.


   He that lives upon hope will die fasting.


   He that has a trade has an estate.


   The noblest question in the world is
   What good may I do in it?


   Sell not virtue to purchase wealth
   nor liberty to purchase power.


   Nothing brings more pain than too much pleasure;
   nothing more bondage than too much liberty.


   Wink at small faults; remember thou hast great ones.


   Each year one vicious habit rooted out,
   In time might make the worst man good throughout.
