Beware of Smiling Americans.
Poore Richard
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for people to decide
evil tastes like chocolate ice cream with rainbow sprinkles on top.
Poore Richard
No matter what you think you know, there's always more to know than what
you think.
Poore Richard
Nothing succeeds like coercion.
Poore Richard
You ever had the feeling you are the skeleton in the family
closet?
Poore Richard
To err is human; to forgive, in a small town, unheard of.
Poore Richard
Virtue is its own reward. A good lie, by contrast, will fetch you a
fortune on the open market.
Poore Richard
The only thing worse than punctuality is someone who values it.
Poore Richard
Too much of a good thing is usually female.
Poore Richard
If you speak truthfully, you can damn sure bet there's someone on hand
who'll make you wish you'd kept your big mouth shut.
Poore Richard
Who needs principles when there's Visa/Master Card?
Poore Richard
Laziness is responsible for more evil than malevolence.
Poore Richard
To one who tells the truth
We prefer a liar;
To liars go mansions,
a sinecure, we gather them a choir.
Poore Richard
Have you ever wondered how your mother knew enough about people like me
to warn you about us?
Poore Richard
Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you Poor.
Poore Richard
If people speak ill of you, be sure to give them a good reason.
Poore Richard
It's easier to point the finger -- once their back is turned.
Poore Richard
The greatest reward you can expect for doing good in this world is
mistreatment by those who are dead certain you've done something wrong.
Poore Richard
Wishful thinking is better than not thinking at all.
Poore Richard
When you're angry, take a breath and count to ten. Then pull the
trigger.

Richard’s Aphorisms for the Week of Our Lord, 10 December Two Thousand and
Seven, which He must claim even though we are regaled yet again

don't know nuthin' 'bout no tapes. And, if I did, it wouldn't be any of
your business!" (With apologies to Ben Franklin himself.)
