reviewed Poor Richard's Almanack on
Only a few of these sayings are marked with age ... but all the rest still ring true today. Although a short book, I read it in small doses in order to ponder the truth in each line. If we could only strife to bear these truths into practice, the world would be a better place to live among our fellow mankind.

While some of the sayings from this book are well know, many of them I read for the first time. However, I was especially pleased to come across my all time favorite: "Three can keep a secret, if two are dead."
