Poor Richard’s Sayings for 1754

Love your Neighbour; yet don’t pull down your Hedge.

The learned Fool writes his Nonsense in better Language than the unlearned; but still ’tis Nonsense.

Praise little, dispraise less.

Poor Richard’s Sayings for 1755

Diligence overcomes Difficulties, Sloth makes them.

A long Life may not be good enough, but a good Life is long enough.

Be at War with your Vices, at Peace with your Neighbours, and let every New-Year find you a better Man.

Where there is Hunger, Law is not regarded; and where Law is not regarded, there will be Hunger.

The Wolf sheds his Coat once a Year, his Disposition never.

Being ignorant is not so much a Shame, as being unwilling to learn.

The Doors of Wisdom are never shut.

Who is wise? He that learns from every One.

Who is powerful? He that governs his Passions.

Who is rich? He that is content.

Who is that? Nobody.
