Benjamin Franklin's Wise Words

Statesman, inventor, firefighter, humorist and so much more, Benjamin Franklin knew a thing or two about living a full and useful life.  This book contains a selection of Franklin’s best-known aphorisms, accompanied by funny illustrations and a brief discussion aimed at young readers.  For example:

 

• You may delay, but time will not.
• Fish and visitors stink in three days.
• A false friend and a shadow, attend only when the sun shines.
