Join 📚 Edwin's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
For a quarter of a century (1733—1758), Poor Richard’s Almanack was widely read, frequently quoted, and vastly enjoyed. As Franklin acknowledged, the pithy sayings presented in Poor Richard’s Almanack reflected “the wisdom of many ages and nations” and were not all original to him. However, the beliefs, wit, and wisdom of this genial, immensely energetic, creative man who lived life fully are evident throughout this selection from the writings of “Poor Richard.”
Wit and Wisdom From Poor Richard's Almanack
Benjamin Franklin
A simple modified policy to cultivate wisdom:
Learn from everyone.
In every interaction, ask yourself “what can I learn from this person?”
Do this without regard to their external success & accomplishments.
View others as exactly equal to you: not inferior, not superior.
