Benjamin Franklin and Poor Richard's Almanac:

Index | A Plowman on his Legs

A plowman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knees.

Thoughts by Benjamin Franklin from Poor Richard's Almanac, or from his letters, on life and prosperity.

“Hope in this life is a perishing thing, but the hope of good men, when it is cut off from this world, is but removed like a tree, transplanted from this nursery to the garden of the Lord.”
–Matthew Henry, Commentary, Job 19
