Seite 64 - three removes are as bad as a fire ;' and again, 'keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee ;* and again, ' if you would have your business done, go ; if not, send.' And again, ' He that by the plough would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive...
Seite 69 - We are offered by the terms of this sale six months' credit; and that perhaps has induced some of us to attend it, because we cannot spare the ready money, and hope now to be fine without it.

Seite 58 - I have been, if I may say it without vanity an eminent author of almanacks annually now a full quarter of a century, my brother authors in the same way, for what reason I know not, have ever been very sparing in their applauses, and no other author has taken the least notice of me, so that did...
Seite 76 - Delightful task ! to rear the tender thought, To teach the young idea how to shoot, To pour the fresh instruction o'er the mind, To breathe th' enlivening spirit and to fix The generous purpose in the glowing breast.
Seite 72 - I had made of the sense of all ages and nations. However, I resolved to be the better for the echo of it; and, though I had at first determined to buy stuff for a new coat, I went away resolved to wear my old one a little longer. Reader, if thou wilt do the same, thy profit will be as great as mine.
Seite 62 - One to-day is worth two to-morrows,' as poor Richard says ; and farther, ' never leave that till to-morrow which you can do today.'
