Poor Richard's Almanac is known for it's witty phrases of wisdom. One of my favorites is-
If you would not be forgotten
As soon as you are dead and rotten
Either write things worth reading,
Or do things worth the writing
It describes the power of a legacy and shows that things can last much longer than a man's lifetime.
Another one of my favorite Poor Richard's Almanac sayings is-
Tim was so learned, that he could name a horse in nine languages.
So ignorant, that he bought a cow to ride on.
It tells us how book smarts aren't the only smarts needed in life. It also helps to have a good and basic understanding of the way the world works.
