Upon discovering this excellent medium of communication known as the "Internet," whereby the entire world can speedily view the writing of one man, I resolved to put it to use at once. Considering that the world would gain by what I have gleaned from the wisdom of many ages, I have placed a small portion of it here, for all who may wish to see. Not being skilled in the use of this marvelous device, the computer, I must trust my good friend Shawn Smith with the more technical aspects of the work. And so, I present to you, Poor Richard's Homepage. So that you may find the relevent advice more quickly, I have divided these sayings into several topics.
--- Richard Saunders
Of course, the Almanac is not Franklin's only important work. He also wrote a number of political essays, an autobiography, and propaganda for the Revolution. His other accomplishments include publishing an extremely successful newspaper and being a foreign ambassador for the nascent United States.
If, while reading Poor Richard's sayings, you come across an asterik that looks like a link (kind of like * that), you can follow that to a little side note about that particular saying. If that saying is relevent to another section --- after all, they do tend to overlap --- you can follow the linked "+" at the end of it to another page.
Thanks for stopping by, hope Richard and I have given you something to think
about. While you're here, be sure to sign my guestbook.
