Philadelphia, PA…A Bit of Wisdom for today from my favorite founding father. Considered the first American by many. He also through his writings and Poor Richard’s Almanac created the uniquely American identity.

“The U. S. Constitution doesn’t guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.”

“Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom – and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.”

“There are three faithful friends – an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.”

“It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.”

“Rather go to bed without dinner than to rise in debt.”
