AlmanacEarly to Bed and early to rise, makes a Man healthy, wealthy and wise.Benjamin Franklin1735★ 7.5
Power may justly be compared to a great River, while kept within its due Bonds, is both Beautiful and Useful; but when it overflows its Banks, it is then too impetuous to be stemm'd, it bears down all before it, and brings Destruction and Desolation wherever it comes. If then this is the Nature of Power, let us at least do our Duty, and like wise Men (who value Freedom) use our utmost Care to support Liberty, the only Bulwark against lawless Power, which in all Ages has sacrificed to it's wild Lust and boundless Ambition, the Blood of the best Men that ever liv'd.Andrew Hamilton1735★ 5.9
AlmanacHere comes the orator! with his flood of words, and his drop of reason.Benjamin Franklin1735★ 3.6
PoemDamn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike, Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike.Alexander Pope1735★ 1.9
